N308DD

This article describes a specific airframe, N308DD, a mid-size business jet built in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 258665. The aircraft is a Hawker 800XP produced by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to SC Aviation, Inc., a corporation based in Wheeling, IL (operator presence listed), and appears to operate from that locality as its listed operator base. The airframe's civilian valuation is recorded at $1,995,000, reflecting market condition and age considerations for a 2004-model Hawker 800XP.

The cabin on N308DD is fitted in an executive 8-passenger layout, a typical double-club or club-and-divan arrangement that supports corporate transport and private charter missions. The airframe is optimized for short to mid‑international sectors with a mission profile frequently involving city‑pair hops up to its published maximum range of 2,470 nm at cruise speeds near 430 kts. Registered to SC Aviation, Inc., the operator presence in Wheeling, Illinois suggests routine operations from regional corporate airports and proximity maintenance support. Routine maintenance considerations for this airframe include support for its twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR turbofan engines and mid-life inspections typical for a 2004 airframe approaching two decades in service.

The Hawker 800XP occupies a performance niche as a mid-size, transcontinental-capable business jet balancing cabin comfort for 8 passengers and efficient cruise at 430 kts with a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Common competitors in the used market include other midsize jets of similar vintage; buyers and charter operators often weigh acquisition cost against expected maintenance and avionics upgrade expenditures. With a listed value of $1,995,000, resale and charter demand for this serial depends on maintenance history, avionics fit, and engine cycles on the pair of TFE731-5BR powerplants.
