N8888H

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing US registration N8888H, a 1994 build of the British Aerospace–derived business jet Hawker 1000, serial number 259043. The airframe is currently owned by TEXAS AIRCRAFT PARTS BROKERS LLC (an LLC based in Seguin, TX, US), listed on the US registry. The aircraft is certificated with a 17-seat configuration and retains a market value recorded at $833,000; its condition and maintenance status are reflected in that valuation rather than detailed service history. Ownership is recorded to a parts broker LLC rather than a traditional charter operator, indicating a role in parts, spares, or transitional storage rather than frontline passenger operations.

The cabin of this specific Hawker 1000 is described with a typical executive layout accommodating 8–9 passengers in club seating, complemented by a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, while certification records list 17 seats. The aircraft’s operational profile, given its equipment and range, is consistent with medium‑range executive missions, business shuttles, and potential ferry or parts‑logistics flights into and out of regional US airports from its Seguin, Texas base. Avionics fit and current maintenance status are not published for this airframe; such details would directly influence mission planning, dispatch reliability, and insurance considerations. Given the owner type, maintenance considerations may include preservation for parts reclamation or selective component overhauls if return to service is intended.

The Hawker 1000 family occupies a mid‑size business jet niche offering transcontinental capability with cruise speeds around 430 kts and ceilings near 43,000 ft. Competing types in its era and mission profile include late‑generation Learjets and Challenger variants, with buyer and charter demand influenced by operating economics, aging airframe systems, and parts availability. The recorded ownership by a parts broker and the modest valuation of $833,000 highlight typical resale and maintenance considerations for older mid‑size jets: component life limits, engine shop visit cycles for PW305B powerplants, and market demand for airframes suitable for spares or cost‑sensitive secondary operators.
