N135FT 2007 Gulfstream G200

Overview

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing registration N135FT, a 2007-built example of the Gulfstream G200 series, constructor serial number 155 manufactured by Israel Aircraft Industries. The airframe is recorded in the United States registry and is owned by TX Leasing LLC of Lilydale, Minnesota, reflecting its corporate ownership and likely commercial leasing use. No other notable registry actions are published beyond its current corporate ownership and U.S. registration.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this specific G200 airframe is typically outfitted in an 8-10 passenger executive layout featuring a flat floor and an enclosed lavatory, while FAA-recorded seating lists 19 positions, indicating flexibility between corporate executive configuration and higher-density seating for charter or corporate shuttle missions. Avionics are fitted with the common Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting modern navigation and communications capabilities appropriate for business-jet operations. Operated or managed under the corporate ownership of TX Leasing LLC in Lilydale, MN, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and near-oceanic missions within its 3,400 nm range and operates at typical cruise speeds of 459 kts to a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations align with twin-jet PW300-series engine programs and Collins avionics support.

Model & Market Context

The Gulfstream G200 occupies a midsize business-jet niche that emphasizes long-range capability and higher cruise speed relative to light jets, bringing transcontinental performance in a fixed-wing multi-engine category. Competing models in its era included mid-size offerings from Bombardier and Cessna, where buyers and charter operators weigh cabin comfort, range, and lifecycle maintenance costs. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2007 airframe center on the condition of its Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306A engines, Pro Line 4 avionics currency, and the documented seating configuration options when assessing market demand and fleet deployment.
