N838BB

This airframe, N838BB, is a 1997-built Raytheon Hawker 800XP with serial number 258301, manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company. It is owned by E D SANTOS & ASSOCIATES LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries a United States civil registration. The airframe’s recorded configuration and registry reflect an 8-passenger VIP interior and a standard Honeywell avionics fit typical for the 800XP; no other public ownership changes or notable registry actions are provided. Condition and valuation highlights are not published in the supplied data.

The aircraft is fitted with a typical eight‑passenger VIP cabin: club seating forward, a divan, an aft lavatory, and an in‑flight accessible baggage compartment, reflecting a business/charter mission profile oriented to short‑to‑medium international hops. Avionics are reported as the Honeywell SPZ-8000 configuration common to the 800XP, supporting charter and corporate operations with modern flight management and communications for the model era. Based on the owner’s listed location, the operator/home base is effectively Wilmington, Delaware, US, suggesting primary operations within North America and coastal transcontinental routings consistent with the aircraft’s range and cruise performance. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow standard 800XP practice for twin Honeywell TFE731 engines and mid‑late 1990s airframe systems; no unique modifications or refurbishments are provided in the supplied data.

The Raytheon Hawker 800XP occupies the mid‑size business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with comfortable eight‑passenger accommodations and a maximum cruise near 443 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing types in its era and market position include late‑model midsize jets from Bombardier and Gulfstream entry models; demand typically favors well‑maintained VIP interiors and up‑to‑date avionics such as the Honeywell SPZ-8000 noted here. Resale and maintenance considerations for an aircraft like N838BB center on engine TBOs for the TFE731 series, structural inspection history for a 1997 airframe, and freshness of avionics and interior refurbishments.
