N804BH

The airframe bearing tail number N804BH is a 2002-built Raytheon Hawker 800XP with serial number 258596. It is owned by the corporation MAHASKA BOTTLING CO, based in Oskaloosa, IA, US, and is registered in the US civil aircraft registry. Listed on the US registry under corporate ownership, the airframe is valued at $2,500,000 and presents as a mid-life example of the Hawker 800XP fleet with owner/operator usage consistent with corporate transport.

The cabin is described as a typical VIP layout supporting an 8–12 passenger executive arrangement, although the aircraft’s registration lists a capacity of 15 seats; this reflects a configuration optimized for corporate transport with flexibility for higher-density seating if required. Avionics are noted as Honeywell SPZ-800 / Primus-era integrated avionics, recognizing that configurations can vary with retrofit options and may be updated during maintenance or upgrade cycles. Operationally, the platform is suited to medium-haul corporate missions consistent with a 2,470 nm range and a cruise speed of 430 kts, operated from the owner’s home base in Oskaloosa, IA, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow the Hawker 800XP program and any avionics retrofit paths chosen by the corporate owner.

The Raytheon Hawker 800XP occupies a mid-size, mid-range business jet niche offering transcontinental capability at cruise speeds near 430 kts and a practical ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in the category typically include other late-1990s/early-2000s mid-size business jets; buyer and charter demand for well-maintained 800XPs often focuses on cabin comfort and avionics upgrade potential. For this airframe, resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine TFE731-5BR support, avionics retrofit scope from Primus-era systems, and the corporate ownership history reflected in registry records.
