N79VB

The airframe bearing tail number N79VB is a 2007 Hawker Beechcraft 400A (Beechjet 400A) built under serial RK513 and registered in the United States. This airframe is owned by Dsw Llc (a corporate owner); the owner's registered location is not published. There are no publicly noted changes in operator or registry entries beyond its current US registration; valuation records published with the airframe list a market value of $2,450,000. The combination of mid‑2000s build year and corporate ownership suggests continued use in executive or on‑demand charter roles while reflecting typical depreciation and aftermarket pricing for the 400A type.

This specific Hawker Beechcraft 400A is typically outfitted in a six–to‑eight place executive cabin configuration and, for this airframe, is listed with a typical 6–8 place executive layout—club seating with a forward galley and a forward lavatory option. Avionics reported for typical 400A installations applies to this aircraft as well, with a Collins Pro Line 4 suite fitted in line with many 400A refurbishments and operator preferences. Missions for this airframe would typically include short‑ to medium‑range corporate flights and on‑demand charter sectors within its 1,519 nm range and high single‑engine cruise speed, operating from business and regional airports and leveraging its 45,000 ft ceiling for efficient cross‑country flights. Maintenance considerations follow the 400A standard practices for turbofan replacement cycles and JT15D‑series oversight; corporate ownership commonly implies adherence to tracked maintenance programs.

The Hawker Beechcraft 400A occupies the light business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and cabin comfort compared with many small straight‑wing light jets while remaining more compact than midsize types. In the resale and charter market the 400A competes with models such as the Cessna Citation II/Ultra/Encore family and early Learjet variants; the 2007 build and Collins Pro Line 4 fit help sustain utility for operators seeking modern avionics and performance without midsize acquisition costs. Buyer demand typically skews toward owner‑operators and charter companies seeking economical transcontinental capability; resale value—here indicated at $2,450,000—reflects airframe age, engine cycles on JT15D‑5 powerplants, and completed avionics/ cabin refurbishments.
