N516TH

This article describes the individual airframe bearing the U.S. registration N516TH, a factory-built 1999 example of the Hawker 800XP with manufacturer's serial number 258418. The airframe was produced by Raytheon Aircraft Company and is recorded as currently owned by HIPPO AIR LLC, an LLC based in Grants Pass, OR, US. The registration is listed under the US registry, and valuation records indicate an estimated market value of $2,500,000 reflecting its model year and equipment baseline. No other prior ownership transfers or notable registry enforcement actions are published in the supplied data.

The specific cabin fit for N516TH is a two‑zone executive layout configured for a typical 8–10 passenger club seating arrangement, with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; operator-specific variations may exist. Avionics fit is described as a typical Honeywell SPZ family (SPZ-8000/SPZ variants common on 800XP retrofits) installation, consistent with mid‑generation upgrades that improve situational awareness and navigation capabilities. With a maximum cruise of 443 kts and a range of 2,540 nm, the airframe is well-suited to medium‑haul corporate missions, charter flights and point‑to‑point transcontinental segments from its base in Grants Pass, OR, US. Maintenance considerations reflect twin Garrett TFE731 propulsion commonality, which simplifies parts logistics relative to mixed‑type fleets.

The Hawker 800XP occupies the midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability, a two‑crew cockpit and a stand-up cabin for executive transport. Competing models in its era include other midsize business jets with similar speed and range figures; buyer and charter demand for late‑1990s 800XP airframes typically centers on value‑conscious operators seeking proven performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect airframe age (built 1999), established Garrett engine support, and common retrofit pathways such as Honeywell SPZ avionics upgrades that can materially affect market valuation.
