Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N518RR is a 1984-built Hawker Siddeley HS.125 Series 700A, manufacturer's serial NA0278 (manufacturer c/n 257108). Constructed by Hawker Siddeley (British Aerospace), this airframe is recorded as owned by MIDAS AIR CORP, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is U.S.-registered. The airframe’s registry and operator base reflect commercial corporate use from Wilmington; registered to MIDAS AIR CORP is the principal recorded ownership action for this airframe. Contemporary valuation and condition highlights list the airframe at an estimated value of $571,807, indicating an aircraft in an age-category where systems overhaul and engine life-cycle considerations drive market price.
This specific Series 700A is configured in the model-typical executive arrangement with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, supporting a typical 7–8 passenger executive cabin despite a maximum seating provision of 15. Operationally the airframe’s mission profile aligns with corporate and charter sectors, capable of medium-range transcontinental sectors up to 2,330 nm at a cruise of approximately 424 kts and operating to a service ceiling near 41,000 ft. Based at Wilmington, DE, the operator profile suggests use for business transport and on-demand charter; maintenance considerations for this airframe would emphasize TFE731-3 series engine serviceability and age-dependent avionics upgrades to meet contemporary airspace requirements.
The Hawker Siddeley HS.125 Series 700A occupies a mid-size business jet niche for its era, offering transcontinental capability and twin TFE731 powerplants producing 3,700 lbf each. Competing models in its vintage class include earlier Gulfstream and Learjet variants and later light-medium jets offering improved economics; buyer demand tends toward well-maintained examples with documented engine and avionics programs. For this airframe, resale considerations center on the $571,807 valuation, engine time, and completion condition, with maintenance history and potential avionics modernization strongly affecting marketability.
