N150LR

This article describes airframe N150LR, a 1996-built Raytheon Hawker 1000 with serial number 259050. The airplane was manufactured by Raytheon Corporate Jets Inc and is currently owned by V1VR LLC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US. The type is registered in the US and is recorded as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft; its recorded value is $833,000. The airframe’s configuration and registry reflect a typical corporate executive transport disposition for a late-model Hawker 1000.

The airframe is commonly fitted with a typical executive layout accommodating 8–9 passengers in an executive configuration while being certified for 17 seats overall; a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory are commonly fitted on this airframe. Operated from its US registry and owned by V1VR LLC in Wilmington, DE, the aircraft’s performance envelope—including a long-range capability of 3,442 nm and a service ceiling of 43,000 ft—supports transcontinental and transborder corporate missions at a cruise speed around 440 kts. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with twin-engine Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300-series common support requirements and Hawker 1000 systems upkeep practiced for late-1990s production aircraft.

The Raytheon Hawker 1000 occupies a mid-to-large cabin business jet niche characterized by long-range intercity capability and higher cruise speed relative to earlier light jets. Powered by twin PW305/PW305B family turbofans producing 5,200 lbf each, the model competes with contemporary super-midsize and large-cabin business jets from other manufacturers in owner/operator and charter markets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1996-built airframe, serial 259050, include airframe age, legacy avionics upgrade paths, and engine program participation, factors that influence valuation—reflected in the recorded value of $833,000 for this registration.
