About Us

Our Story

G280PreBuy was founded by a team of aviation professionals with extensive experience in Gulfstream aircraft maintenance and inspections. Our founders recognized a need for specialized pre-purchase inspection services focused exclusively on the Gulfstream G280 aircraft.

With over 15 years of combined experience working with Gulfstream aircraft, our team has developed a comprehensive understanding of the G280's systems, common issues, and maintenance requirements. This specialized knowledge allows us to provide unparalleled inspection services that general aviation inspectors simply cannot match.

Our mission is to protect G280 buyers by providing thorough, detailed inspections that uncover any potential issues before purchase. We believe that an informed buyer is an empowered buyer, and our inspection services provide the information needed to make confident decisions and negotiate effectively.
