Model & Market Context
This entry documents airframe N73PJ, a 2004 build of the Raytheon / Beechcraft 390 Premier I bearing manufacturer serial RB-101. The jet is registered in the United States and is owned by Dodson International Parts Inc of Rantoul, KS, US, which represents the principal documented change in custody for this specific airframe. Registry details list the aircraft as a U.S.-registered, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet; public records cited here indicate a current valuation of $1,500,000, reflecting its model year, configuration and market position among light business jets.
The airframe is outfitted with a typical executive interior described as a 6–8 place layout featuring a forward club seating group, aft seating and an enclosed lavatory, with both internal and external baggage compartments for mission flexibility. Avionics are reported as the Collins Pro Line suite, noted as the common fit for Premier I-series aircraft, though the specific shipset for N73PJ is not fully published. Operationally the Premier I configuration and the listed performance allow for short-to-medium transcontinental hops and executive charter missions; the aircraft’s owner location in Rantoul, KS, US is the documented operator base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would align with the Premier I platform norms, with particular attention to the Williams FJ44-2A engine program and Pro Line avionics serviceability as determinants of dispatch reliability and operating cost.
The Raytheon / Beechcraft 390 Premier I occupies the light business jet niche offering high cruise speed and a 41,000 ft ceiling, competing against other light-cabin entrants in owner-operator and charter markets. Demand tends to favor airframes with well-documented maintenance histories and complete avionics documentation; resale and maintenance economics for this specific airframe are influenced by its 2004 build year, current valuation of $1,500,000, and any recorded maintenance or modification records held by Dodson International Parts Inc.
