The airframe bearing tail number N548KK is a 1997 Raytheon-built Raytheon Beechjet 400A with manufacturer serial RK-151 currently owned by BLUE HAWK CO LLC, a corporate owner based in Cottonwood, CA, US. The aircraft is US-registered and listed in civil registry records under that ownership; specific prior ownership changes or transfers are not published. Registry entries for this airframe do not publish a current market valuation or detailed condition report, and no notable maintenance incidents or major refurbishments are documented in the supplied data. The airframe is identified in operator listings with typical executive-cabin configurations that vary slightly between sources.

The cabin of this Beechjet is described as a typical executive layout featuring 6–8 forward-facing club seats in operator listings (some pages list up to 9); it also includes an enclosed lavatory and an executive cabin with a refreshment center. Common avionics fits for the model family include Collins suite items — for example, Collins TDR-94D transponder/traffic and Collins WXR-850 weather radar — although the specific installed avionics for this particular airframe are not published in the registry. Based at the owner’s location in Cottonwood, CA, the aircraft’s performance profile (cruise of 449 kts, range of 1,519 nm, ceiling 45,000 ft) supports executive point-to-point missions and regional business charters typical of light business jets.

The Raytheon Beechjet 400A occupies the light/entry-level business-jet niche within Raytheon Aircraft Company’s product line, offering transcontinental regional capability at high cruise speed and high operating altitude for its class. Demand from private owners and charter operators tends to focus on cabin flexibility and short- to medium-range mission economics; seating configurations reported for this airframe reflect that market emphasis. Maintenance and resale considerations for this model family commonly center on engine and avionics status; for this airframe the registry notes typical Collins suite options in fleet listings, while specific retrofit or modernization status is not published.
