N425BJ

The airframe bearing tail number N425BJ is a 1987-built example of the Beechjet 400 (Beechcraft 400 / Hawker 400), serial RJ25, with US registration. The airframe is listed as owned by DODSON INTERNATIONAL PARTS INC, a corporate owner based in Rantoul, KS, US; this ownership is the principal known registry entry for the airframe. Published sale and listing information indicates avionics and equipment upgrades referenced in transactional listings, and a market valuation reported at $495,000. The example is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet configured and maintained consistent with active private or corporate utility rather than heavy charter use.

The installed cabin layout for N425BJ is reported as four individual club seats forward, a three-place aft bench, and a forward side-facing belted potty seat with a sliding privacy door, representing a total nine-passenger layout. Avionics fit reported in listings cites a Sperry/ProLine-style suite with a Universal UNS-1E FMS, and a Honeywell Primus 650 weather radar is noted on a sale listing, indicating avionics capable of typical regional and continental operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given the performance data, would include short-to-medium range business transport and repositioning flights within the continental United States. The corporate owner and reported equipment proscribe a role focused on owner-operator or light-corporate support rather than high-utilization charter.

The Beechjet 400 family occupies a light business jet niche, offering moderate range and relatively high cruise speed for its class compared with contemporaries. Competing models in the era and secondary market include other light jets using small turbofan powerplants; the JT15D-5 engines deliver performance consistent with this class. Buyer and resale considerations for this airframe include the aircraft's age (1987 build), avionics modernization status, and total-owner/operator usage profile; the reported valuation at $495,000 reflects these factors in the current pre-owned market. Maintenance considerations typical for the type include age-related corrosion and systems updates, with parts and support influenced by the Beechcraft legacy and aftermarket supply.
