N668Z

This entry describes airframe N668Z, a 2008-built Beechcraft 390 Premier IA, serial RB-247. The aircraft is factory-built by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation and is registered in the United States to ALPHA BRAVO PARTNERS LLC of Monroe, LA, US; the registration ties the airframe to a corporate operator/home base in Monroe. Registry records for this specific airframe note its corporate ownership and standard executive configuration, and its market valuation for this airframe is listed at $1,500,000, reflecting condition and equipment levels typical of a late-2000s light jet. No additional ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond the corporate registration are published for this airframe in the provided data.

The cabin of N668Z is fitted in a typical 6–8 passenger executive layout: a four-seat club configuration forward, two aft chairs, and an enclosed aft lavatory, supporting short to medium-length corporate missions. The airframe is equipped with a Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, enabling modern flight management, communications, and navigation capability consistent with business-jet operations of its vintage. With a transcontinental-capable range of 1,480 nm and a high-speed cruise of 454 kts, the aircraft is typically employed on point-to-point corporate travel and charter missions originating from its Monroe, LA home base. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect standard twin Williams FJ44-2A engine programs and the avionics support typical for Collins Pro Line 21-equipped light jets.

The Beechcraft 390 Premier IA occupies a performance niche as a light, high-speed business jet combining composite fuselage elements and turbofan efficiency; N668Z exemplifies that role with its Williams FJ44-2A engines and 41,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in the segment include other light-cabin jets offering similar cruise speeds and ranges, and demand from small corporations and charter operators remains focused on operational efficiency and cabin comfort. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2008 build year, installed Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, and the ongoing support requirements of the Williams FJ44 engine family.
