N72NE

The airframe bearing tail number N72NE is a 2003-built Hawker Beechcraft 400XP (Beechjet 400A), serial RK-371, manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The aircraft is owned by RARIDON & ASSOCIATES ORTHOPEDICS INC, a corporation based in Clive, IA, US, and is registered in the United States. This airframe’s documented ownership remains with the listed corporate owner, and public records indicate a market valuation of $1,500,000, reflecting its age and configuration.

The Hawker Beechcraft 400XP airframe N72NE is configured for a ten-seat cabin, supporting short- to mid-range corporate transport and charter missions typical of light business jets. Operated from the owner’s home base in Clive, IA, US, its mission profile is consistent with regional hops and transcontinental legs within its 1,333 nm range when operated at typical cruise speeds near 414 kts. Avionics fit and specific cabin amenities for this serial are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations reflect the twin JT15D-5 turbofan engines, each producing 2,900 lbf, which factor into inspection cycles and parts support. The listed valuation of $1,500,000 provides context for maintenance budgeting and insurance underwriting.

The Hawker Beechcraft 400XP (Beechjet 400A) occupies the light twinjet market segment, offering relatively high cruise speed and a certified ceiling of 45,000 ft for efficient regional operations. Competing models in this performance niche typically include other light jets with similar seating and range; buyers assess examples like RK-371 on the basis of engine hours, maintenance history, and avionics fit, all of which materially affect resale value around the stated $1,500,000. Ongoing demand for well-maintained light business jets supports a secondary market where corporate-owned airframes such as N72NE are evaluated for cost of ownership, available range, and engine lifecycle driven by the JT15D-5 powerplants.
