N178QS is a 2022 Bombardier Global 7500, registered as a co-owned aircraft (the FAA form fractional programmes use, with no single name on file). It works in NetJets Aviation's floating charter fleet: on the Part 135 certificate (DXTA), and positioned wherever the next trip starts rather than kept at one airport. In the twelve months to 7 September 2026 it flew 322 legs on 164 days, about 200,746 nautical miles. That is close to the median for a Bombardier Global 7500 in U.S. charter service (45 airframes tracked, median 263 legs). It touched 101 airports but keeps returning to the same city pairs: 66% of legs repeat a route already flown in the year.
