N142HQ 2013 Gulfstream G450

Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N142HQ is a 2013-build Gulfstream registered in the United States with serial number 4288. The aircraft is owned by Golden Alpha Aviation LLC, a corporation based in Henderson, Nevada, US, and operates from that operator/home base as its primary registry address. No alternate operators, leases or transfers are published beyond the corporate ownership noted here.

Operations & Cabin

The fitted cabin for this specific Gulfstream emphasizes flexible executive layouts with capacity for up to 19 passengers and typical outfittings for 12-14 pax, while the registered seating count is 22, allowing for varied combinations of crew and passenger accommodation. The aircraft is equipped with a Gulfstream avionics suite, specifically Gulfstream PlaneView, supporting typical long-range corporate transport missions and IFR operations within its performance envelope. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include transcontinental and intercontinental corporate travel consistent with a 4,350 nm range and a long-range cruise speed near 459 kts; the corporate owner in Henderson, NV would use these capabilities for point-to-point executive transport. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the twin Rolls-Royce TAY 611-8C engines and Gulfstream airframe schedules; no other unique modifications or notable maintenance events are published for this serial.

Model & Market Context

This airframe is a representative example of the Gulfstream G450 (GIV-X) family, which targets the long-range midsize corporate jet niche with twin Rolls-Royce turbofans and high cruise performance. Competing models occupy similar transcontinental roles and buyer or charter demand for late-model examples is typically driven by range, cabin flexibility and avionics standards such as Gulfstream PlaneView.
