N104LR

This article covers airframe N104LR, a mid-size business jet built in 1996 with manufacturer serial number 258303. The airframe is a Hawker 800XP produced by Raytheon Aircraft Company (later Hawker Beechcraft) and is owned by Tri Aviation Inc, a corporation based in Venetia, PA. The aircraft is registered in the US and, based on available records, carries an estimated market value of $1,800,000. Notable registry actions include its ongoing corporate ownership and US registration; detailed ownership history beyond the current owner is not published.

The cabin for this tail is described as a typical 8‑passenger executive club layout with a forward galley and aft lavatory, though the specific fit for N104LR is not published. Avionics fit for this individual airframe is not detailed in the provided data; operators typically equip airframes of this vintage to comply with contemporary navigation and ADS‑B requirements. With a cruise speed of 438 kts and a range of 2,470 nm, the aircraft is suited to business missions such as medium‑to‑long domestic and trans‑continental flights flown from its operator base in Venetia, PA. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on lifecycle items associated with a 1996 build—engine hot section inspections and airframe checks for aging systems—while specific maintenance status for N104LR is not published.

The Hawker 800XP occupies the mid‑size business jet niche, offering a combination of transcontinental range and cabin comfort appropriate for corporate and charter use. With twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines delivering 4,660 lbf each and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, the type competes in demand against other mid‑size business jets for owners seeking balanced speed, range, and cabin space. Resale and maintenance considerations typically reflect airframe age and cycle life; the listed market value of $1,800,000 for N104LR aligns with mid‑1990s models that have been kept in corporate ownership and require standard recurring inspections and potential avionics upgrades for current regulatory and operational needs.
