Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N65RA is a 1985-build Beechcraft 400 (Beechjet / Hawker 400) with serial RJ-9. It is recorded as owned by SKY CLOUD VENTURES LLC, an LLC based in Seagrove Beach, FL, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this specific airframe. The registry reflects a single-owner entry in the provided data, with no other ownership transfers published here; this ownership status is notable for continuity in private operation. Valuation data for this airframe is listed at $747,000, a datum relevant to condition and market positioning.
The cabin of this Beechcraft 400 is configured for 9 seats, supporting standard light-medium corporate transport missions typical of late-model light jets. With a cruise speed of 400 kts and a range of 1,351 nm, the aircraft is suited to point-to-point regional and near-transcontinental trips from its Seagrove Beach, FL base. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities are not published in the supplied data, but operational considerations for this airframe will emphasize the maintenance needs of twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 engines and periodic checks associated with a mid-1980s airframe. The listed valuation of $747,000 factors into operator decisions about refurbishments, avionics upgrades, or retirement planning.
The Beechcraft 400 family occupies the light corporate jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and a 41,000 ft service ceiling as exemplified by this airframe. Competing models in the same market segment typically include other light jets offering similar range and speed; buyer and charter demand for a 1985 serial like RJ-9 will hinge on maintenance history, avionics, and interior condition. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine lifecycle for the JT15D-5 powerplants and the cost-benefit tradeoffs against its current valuation of $747,000.
