Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N855JB is a 2004-built Raytheon 390 Premier I, serial RB-104, manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company within the Beechcraft / Hawker Beechcraft lineage. The aircraft is registered in the United States to the corporate owner GEORGE INC of Wilmington, DE, US; its registry entry lists an 8-seat certification. There are no publicly noted ownership transfers beyond the corporate registration on file, and the type has typically operated from corporate and business aviation bases consistent with its light jet role. Condition and valuation highlights specific to this airframe are not published in the provided data.
The cabin of this Premier I is configured in a typical six-place executive club layout with two additional aft seats, giving the aircraft its registry-listed eight-seat certification; the forward galley and enclosed aft lavatory are included in the configuration. Avionics fit is listed as the Collins Pro Line 21 consistent with typical Premier IA outfitting, supporting corporate single- or short multi-leg missions. Operational use for this airframe would commonly include regional point-to-point corporate transport, owner-flown business trips, and ad hoc charter operations from bases serving the Wilmington, Delaware corporate community. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft follow the light twin-jet norms for Williams FJ44 powerplants and the Premier airframe, including attention to the composite fuselage/airframe interfaces and avionics installation during routine checks.
The Raytheon 390 Premier I occupies the light jet segment, offering turbofan performance with a composite fuselage and higher cruise speed for its class; with a cruise of 370 kts and a range of 1,360 nm it competes against entry-level light jets and super-light jets. Typical competitors include early-model Citation series and entry-level Learjet variants where cabin comfort, speed and runway performance drive buyer and charter demand. For resale and maintenance considerations, the Premier family’s Williams FJ44 engines and Collins Pro Line 21 avionics are widely supported, but prospective buyers often assess avionics upgrades and airframe refurbishment history when valuing individual airframes such as N855JB.
