N444ES

This entry covers the specific Raytheon-built airframe N444ES, a 2004 Raytheon 390 Premier I bearing serial number RB-113. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporate entity SAMMBIE LLC, based in Georgetown, KY, US; this ownership is the primary recorded operator/home base association for the airframe. Valuation records indicate a market value of $1,500,000, and no other registry events or transfers are indicated in the provided data. The airframe retains its factory configuration characteristics consistent with a 2004 Premier I and is noted at the supplied value as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet.

The cabin for this airframe is configured in a typical six-place executive club arrangement with a belted lavatory and forward seating; flexibility allows a 6–8 seat executive layout depending on interior fit. Avionics are commonly the Collins Pro Line 21, though fit may vary by airframe, and this unit is described with that common fitment. Typical missions for the Premier I with the given performance profile include short to mid-range corporate hops and light charter work within a roughly 1,000 nm radius, exploiting the aircraft’s high cruise speed and pressurization for operations up to 41,000 ft. As a corporate-owned aircraft based in Georgetown, Kentucky, routine maintenance and operational planning would reflect business aviation standards for a 2004-model light jet.

The Raytheon 390 Premier I occupies the light business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and single-pilot capability in many configurations, competing with types that emphasize fast regional point-to-point travel. With twin Williams FJ44 engines producing 2,300 lbf each, the aircraft balances fuel efficiency and climb performance for its class. Market demand for older Premier Is often centers on cost-conscious buyers or charter operators seeking speed and comfort at a lower acquisition price, reflected in the recorded $1,500,000 valuation. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2004 airframe include monitoring engine program status and avionics refreshes where the common Collins Pro Line 21 fit may influence upgrade costs and marketability.
