N72GH

This entry documents the specific airframe bearing tail number N72GH, a 2004-built Beechjet 400A / Hawker 400XP, constructor serial RK-370, manufactured within the Raytheon/Hawker lineage by Beechcraft. Publicly available registry data identifies the aircraft as United States-registered; no comprehensive public ownership timeline is published beyond its current US registration. Condition and market notes reflect a contemporary estimated value of $1,500,000, consistent with late-model, mid-life specimens of this series that have undergone typical shop inspections and common interior or avionics retrofits.

The airframe is typically outfitted in a seven–eight passenger executive interior with common configurations such as double-club seating or a club + divan arrangement, an aft lavatory and dedicated external baggage space, matching the description for this serial. Avionics equipment varies by individual airframe and upgrade history; many examples in the fleet carry Collins Pro Line family installations (notably Pro Line 4) or modern retrofit suites when factory-fit avionics have been upgraded. Operationally this aircraft serves short-to-medium intercity executive transport and on-demand charter missions within its stated range and cruise profile; maintenance considerations align with turbofan twin practice items for the type, including JT15D hot section inspections and airframe corrosion/inspection cycles specific to mid-2000s builds.

The Beechjet 400A / Hawker 400XP family occupies the light-cabin, medium-performance niche, offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes than turboprops while remaining cost-competitive against newer light jets. Typical competitors include early-generation light-cabin jets with similar payload/range envelopes. Buyer interest and charter demand for these airframes focus on operators seeking a balance of speed, operating cost and acquisition price; resale and maintenance considerations frequently center on engine life-limited parts, avionics upgrade status and interior refurbishment, factors reflected in the stated $1,500,000 valuation for this airframe.
