N679SJ

This entry covers airframe N679SJ, a 1997 Raytheon (Beechcraft) 400A Beechjet built by Raytheon Aircraft Company with serial number RK-168. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by the corporation Dodson International Parts Inc, based in Rantoul, KS, US. Ownership is held by a parts-focused corporate operator, and the airframe is appraised at $1,600,000, reflecting its age and typical equipment fit for the 400A variant.

The cabin configuration for this specific 400A-example follows the typical executive layout: an enclosed aft lavatory and a 7–10 place club/forward‑facing seating arrangement, which on this airframe is listed as an executive 7–10 place club/forward‑facing layout with enclosed aft lavatory (typical 400A fit). Avionics are recorded as the common retrofit fit, Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 (typical for 400/400A retrofits), supporting modern navigation and flight management capabilities for the type. Operated from a corporate base in Rantoul, KS, US, the aircraft’s systems and cabin are consistent with light executive transport and parts-support roles noted by the owner’s corporate profile. Maintenance and mission planning for this airframe would align with its twin JT15D-5 engines and high‑altitude capability.

This airframe is a member of the Raytheon (Beechcraft) 400A Beechjet lineage, characterized here by a combination of twin JT15D engines, a 45,000 ft service ceiling and a longish range of 1,693 nm, positioning the model for high-speed, mid-range executive missions. The documented cruise speed of 443 kts and seating for 10 reflect the aircraft’s performance niche as a fast, small executive transport. Typical market considerations for this specific 1997 airframe include avionics retrofit status (Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4), the condition implied by its assessed value ($1,600,000), and ongoing maintenance demands associated with its engines and airframe age.
