N457J

The airframe bearing tail number N457J is a British Aerospace BAe 125-800A (Hawker 800A) built in 1987 with manufacturer serial 258085. It is recorded as owned by Aviation Leasing Group Inc, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s configuration and avionics fit indicate an executive transport role; the listing value is recorded at $1,450,000, reflecting its age, installed equipment and market position. No other operators or registry actions are published beyond the noted corporate ownership and valuation.

The cabin is outfitted for eight-passenger executive transport with a forward four-place club, an aft right single seat, and an aft left three-place divan, complemented by a forward galley, aft lavatory and a crew jump seat. Avionics include a Collins EFIS (85-5) with Dual FDS-85A flight directors, Dual GNS-XLS FMS, Collins TCAS-4000, Honeywell Mark VII EGPWS and Collins WXR-350 weather radar, supporting IFR and long-range executive missions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would leverage its 2,432 nm range and 430 kt cruise to operate transcontinental or longer regional sectors from its corporate base in Wilmington, DE, under management by the leasing corporation. Maintenance considerations for this specific ship will reflect its late-1980s airframe and the need to support the Garrett/Honeywell TFE731-5R-1H engines and avionics suite as installed.

The BAe 125-800A (Hawker 800A) fills the midsize executive twinjet niche with cabin comfort for eight and transcontinental capability as demonstrated by this airframe’s range and ceiling. Competing models occupy similar mission profiles and payload/range bands, influencing buyer and charter demand toward well-equipped examples; the avionics and safety systems on this unit enhance its operational desirability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial reflect age-related inspection cycles and component support for the TFE731 series and the installed Collins/Honeywell avionics, factors contributing to the recorded $1,450,000 valuation.
