N453TM

This airframe, registered as N453TM, is a 2008-built Hawker Beechcraft 400A with serial number RK581. The airframe is owned by WHEELS UP PARTNERS LLC, a corporation based in New York, NY, US, and is registered in the US registry. Noted valuation and condition highlights list the aircraft at an estimated market value of $1,600,000; acquisition and registry activity reflect corporate ownership and typical operator stewardship associated with owner-based charter or membership operators. The combination of year, serial and ownership places this specific jet within a late-model 400A fleet commonly managed from a New York operational base.

The cabin on this airframe is outfitted in a typical executive double-club layout accommodating 7–9 passengers in operator-specific configurations, with a belted aft lav seat possible for additional accommodation. Avionics are commonly a Collins Pro Line 4 fitment as a retrofit or original installation, supporting typical corporate and charter avionics capability. Operational profiles for this aircraft emphasize short- to medium-haul transcontinental and regional missions consistent with a 1,693 nm range and high-speed cruise of 443 kts, often flown from a New York-centered operator base. Maintenance considerations are aligned with Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5R engine support and standard 400A airframe service intervals under corporate management.

The Hawker Beechcraft 400A occupies a light to light-midsize business jet niche offering high cruise speed and 45,000 ft ceiling performance suited to time-sensitive regional travel. Competing types in secondary-market demand include other light jets that balance speed and operating economics; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2008 build, JT15D-5R engines, and retrofit avionics such as Collins Pro Line 4. With an indicated market value of $1,600,000, buyer interest typically focuses on corporate operators, charter fleets, and owner-operators seeking high-speed regional capability with established maintenance and parts support.
