N718HC

This entry covers airframe N718HC, a mid-1980s corporate jet built as a Hawker 800A (BAe 125-800A) by British Aerospace / Hawker Beechcraft in 1985 with manufacturer serial number 258040. The aircraft is registered in the United States and shows ownership listed to Acme Leasing II LLC, a corporation reported by registry aggregation as based in Nashville, TN; this change in registry is a notable point in its custodial history. Current valuation records list the airframe at $1,600,000, reflecting its age, systems status and market position among older mid-size business jets.

The interior configuration for N718HC is reported in listings as an 8-place executive layout, aligning with the model’s common cabin arrangement of a forward galley, club seating and an aft lavatory; typical documentation also references the variant six‑to‑eight place executive arrangements for this airframe type. Avionics fits on the type commonly include Collins EFIS / ProLine systems or similar retrofit packages, though exact avionics equipment can vary by airframe and is determined by past upgrades and owner choices. Based from registry aggregation to Nashville, TN, the airframe’s mission profile is consistent with mid‑size corporate transport and leasing operations: short‑to‑medium range executive shuttle, ad hoc charter and regional repositioning. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect its age and twin TFE731 powerplants, which influence scheduled engine shop visits and component life‑limit tracking.

The Hawker 800A (BAe 125-800A) occupies the mid‑size business jet niche characterized by transregional capability and a step up in cabin comfort from light jets, with the performance numbers of 402 kts cruise and 2,390 nm range indicative of that role. In the used market, examples like N718HC trade with valuations influenced by avionics retrofits, interior refurbishment and engine status; the listed $1,600,000 reflects these cumulative factors for a 1985 airframe. Prospective buyers and lessors typically weigh the cost of avionics modernization, interior work and ongoing maintenance when evaluating late‑model 800A airframes for continued service or charter employment.
