RADAR ESTIMATE
What N12DC is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the HondaJet Elite on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N12DC's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N12DC
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
The airframe bearing tail number N12DC is a 2019-built HondaJet Elite, model HA-420, serial 42000144, manufactured by HONDA AIRCRAFT CO LLC. Acquired and operated by Ruston Aviation LLC of Tulsa, OK, US, the aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as corporate-owned. No additional ownership transfers or notable incidents are published within the supplied data.
Operations & Cabin
This HA-420 is outfitted in a typical executive cabin layout accommodating 1 crew + 5-7 passengers with club seating options and an enclosed aft lavatory, yielding flexible configurations for corporate missions or high-end charter work. The airframe is equipped with a Garmin G3000 avionics suite, supporting modern cockpit automation, touchscreen flight management, and integrated situational awareness for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Based from Tulsa, OK under corporate ownership, its operational profile would typically include short- to medium-haul business trips within its 1,437 nm ferry/range capability and high-cruise speed of 422 kts, enabling efficient point-to-point regional missions. Maintenance considerations align with factory support for the GE Honda HF120 turbofans and Garmin avionics, as expected for certified HondaJet operators.
Model & Market Context
The HA-420 (HondaJet Elite) occupies the light business jet niche with an emphasis on fuel-efficient overwing-mounted engines, high cruise speeds, and a pressurized cabin for up to eight occupants. Competitive models in this class include other VLJ and light jets offering similar mission profiles; demand is typically driven by owner-operators and corporate flight departments seeking modern avionics and low operating weights.
