Model & Market Context
This article covers airframe N880LT, a Hawker 1000 built in 1996 with serial number 259051. The airframe was produced during the Raytheon-era Hawker 1000 line and is recorded in U.S. civil registration as operated/owned by Robyns Magic Carpet LLC (c/o Vertical Bridge REIT LLC) of Boca Raton, FL, US. The aircraft’s recorded configuration and ownership indicate an executive transport role; its last published valuation is $833,000, reflecting an older mid-size business jet in the used market. Notable registry actions for this airframe are limited to standard U.S. registration and ownership listing under the LLC custodian; specific historic incidents or ferry transfers are not published.
The cabin of N880LT is fitted in a typical Hawker 1000 executive layout, certified for an 8–9 place executive arrangement with a forward galley, forward cabin and an aft lavatory, suitable for corporate or owner-flown operations. Operator and home-base activity is recorded to the Boca Raton, Florida address of the listed LLC custodian, suggesting U.S.-based regional missions. Typical mission profiles for this specific airframe would include transcontinental and regional executive transport within the aircraft’s published 3,098 nm range and cruising at approximately 400 kts; specific avionics fit and interior finish details for this serial are not published. Maintenance considerations follow Hawker 1000 type support practices, including twin PW305 engine programs and airframe aging inspections pertinent to a 1996-build aircraft.
The Hawker 1000 family occupies the mid-size business jet niche for high-speed, long-range corporate transport in the 1990s-era fleet, competing against contemporaries in transcontinental capability and cabin comfort. With twin PW305 engines and a service ceiling near 43,000 ft, the model offers performance appealing to owner-operators and charter operators seeking speed and range in mixed short- to medium-haul networks. Buyer and charter demand for older Hawker 1000s often reflects acquisition price, engine program status and maintenance history; the recorded valuation of $833,000 for N880LT underscores the importance of detailed logbooks, AD compliance and engine time in resale or continued operational planning.
