N18CC

This entry covers airframe N18CC, a 1978-built Hawker Siddeley HS.125 Series 700A, serial NA0222, manufactured by Hawker Siddeley / British Aerospace. The aircraft is owned by TAMCAR AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Kennewick, WA, US, and is registered in the US; this ownership and registration represent the principal documented custody and operating base for the airframe. Notable administrative details include the aircraft’s recorded valuation of $675,000, which frames its market status and condition expectations relative to contemporaries in the light business jet category.

The HS.125 Series 700A airframe N18CC is configured with 15 seats, reflecting a higher-capacity cabin layout suitable for group transport, corporate shuttle work, or charter operations from its base in Kennewick, WA, US. With a long-range capability of 2,330 nm and a cruise speed of 424 kts, typical mission profiles for this specific aircraft would encompass regional to transcontinental flights within continental North America under a charter or corporate operator model. The twin Honeywell (Garrett) TFE731 powerplants, each producing 3,700 lbf, support operations to a maximum certified altitude of 41,000 ft, which informs crew planning and performance calculations for high-altitude routing. Maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 1978 manufacture and subsequent lifecycle, with the recorded valuation ($675,000) providing a market signal for refurbishment, avionics upgrades, or continued part-out economics.

The HS.125 Series 700A sits in the light-to-midsize business jet niche characterized by robust cruise speeds and transcontinental range, exemplified here by N18CC’s 424 kts cruise and 2,330 nm range. Competing models in similar mission roles typically emphasize modern avionics and lower operating costs; for this airframe, factors such as age (built 1978), engine type, and overall value ($675,000) will influence buyer and charter demand. Resale and maintenance considerations for N18CC commonly include lifecycle airframe inspections, parts availability for legacy systems, and potential retrofit investments to meet contemporary operational or regulatory expectations.
