Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N585BP, is a 2005-built Raytheon (Beechcraft) 390 Premier 1 / Premier IA with serial RB-143. It was manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company (noting the line later Hawker Beechcraft / Beechcraft as the program transitioned corporate ownership). The documented owner is the corporation MS AIRWAYS LLC based in Longview, TX, US, and the aircraft carries a United States registration. Listed valuation and condition highlights place the airframe at an estimated market value of $1,600,000.
The cabin for this Premier I/IA airframe is noted as a typical 6–8-place executive layout, with club seating options and configuration flexibility for single or dual-pilot operation; for this specific airframe the published seating capacity is 8. Avionics commonly installed on Premier I/IA airframes and indicated here include the Collins Pro Line 21 modernization, supporting business and executive mission avionics standards. Typical mission profiles for this type — and for this example with a 1,175 nm range and 370 kt cruise — include short- to mid-range corporate trips, regional point-to-point charters, and owner-operated flights from the documented Longview, Texas base. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Williams FJ44-2A powerplants and the airframe’s midsize light-jet support requirements.
The Raytheon (Beechcraft) 390 Premier 1 / Premier IA family occupies the light-cabin, high-performance niche with transcontinental regional capability defined by the 370 kt cruise and a 41,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models typically include other light jets offering similar seat counts and mission ranges; demand is driven by owner-operators and charter operators seeking compact executive cabins and efficient short- to mid-range performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe class hinge on engine cycle status for the Williams FJ44-2A engines, avionics modernization level such as Collins Pro Line 21, and airframe condition as reflected in the stated $1,600,000 valuation.
