N222KU

The airframe bearing registration N222KU is a 2006-built Hawker 850XP, constructor serial number 258788, manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation LONE STAR STORAGE TRAILERS INC, based in Nolan, Texas; this ownership places the aircraft on a corporate registry rather than with a traditional fractional or charter operator. The airframe’s configuration, equipment baseline and reported market value indicate a well-equipped light mid-size business jet unit with a listed valuation of $3,900,000. No additional notable registry actions are published beyond the documented corporate ownership and U.S. registration.

The cabin of N222KU is laid out in a typical Hawker 850XP format, accommodating an eight-passenger club-and-divan arrangement with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, while the aircraft’s published seating capacity reaches 15 for maximum configuration flexibility. Avionics fit for the model is commonly the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, with flight management computer (FMC), traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) and enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS) being typical equipment items for operational compliance and situational awareness. Mission profiles for this airframe would normally include domestic and transcontinental corporate trips within the continental U.S., exploiting a 2,525 nm range and a 430 kt cruise for efficient point-to-point travel. As a corporate-owned unit, maintenance and basing are likely arranged through local Texas providers; the airframe’s specification calls for common inspections associated with Honeywell TFE731-series turbofan operations.

The Hawker 850XP occupies the light mid-size business jet niche, offering a balance of range, cabin comfort and runway performance that appeals to owners seeking transcontinental capability without a large-cabin footprint. Competing models in the segment include late-model mid-size jets from Bombardier and Cessna lines, with buyer and charter demand influenced by equipment fit, maintenance status and market price; the $3,900,000 valuation for this 2006 airframe reflects those considerations. Known maintenance items for the family include scheduled engine and auxiliary power unit work scopes for the Honeywell TFE731 line and avionics upgrades to maintain relevance in charter or corporate operations, factors that materially affect resale and operating economics.
