N800SE

This entry documents airframe N800SE, a British Aerospace BAe 125 Series 800A built in 1988 with manufacturer serial NA0425. The airframe is manufactured by British Aerospace and is registered in the US; current ownership is held by DODSON INTERNATIONAL PARTS INC, a corporation based in Rantoul, KS, US. Public records for this tail show the registered operator/home base aligned with the owner's location, and no additional registry events are published beyond its current corporate ownership. The aircraft is valued at $1,325,000, reflecting market factors associated with its model year, configuration, and certified seating.

The airframe carries a certified 14-place cabin layout while commonly being reconfigured to an 8-place executive interior for corporate or VIP operations; this duality is typical for Series 800A airframes and influences mission flexibility. Operator activity is consistent with fixed-base corporate use from Rantoul, KS, US, and missions typically include medium‑range point‑to‑point charters or owner/operator business travel within the aircraft's 2,390 nm range at cruise speeds near 430 kts. Avionics fit and specific cabin amenities for this individual airframe are not published, though maintenance considerations for a 1988-built twin with TFE731 powerplants generally emphasize hot-section inspections, parts availability, and adherence to aging‑aircraft service bulletins. Corporate ownership by a parts company may also affect the aircraft’s maintenance provisioning and parts sourcing practices.

The BAe 125 Series 800A occupies a mid‑size business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and a 41,000 ft service ceiling suited to high‑speed, medium‑haul missions. Competing models in similar missions include later‑generation light and mid‑size business jets that offer updated avionics and efficiencies; as a 1988 airframe, resale and charter demand depend heavily on refurbishment state and interior configuration (14‑seat certification versus 8‑place executive). Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe hinge on the condition of its TFE731 engines, time‑since‑overhaul status, and the thoroughness of records given its corporate ownership and valuation at $1,325,000.
