N954DS

This entry concerns airframe N954DS, a 1998-built Beechjet 400A with manufacturer serial RK-200. The airframe is listed in the U.S. registry and is owned by DUBOSE STRAPPING INC, a corporation based in Clinton, NC, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the aircraft as reflected in public registry extracts. Public records do not list any additional notable registry actions or multiple ownership transfers for this specific airframe. The airframe carries an estimated market valuation of $1,206,815, a figure that has been cited in registry-extracted summaries.

The cabin of N954DS is noted as a typical executive layout accommodating 7–8 passengers, although the exact interior configuration is not listed in public registry extracts. Typical mission profiles for this airframe are consistent with light business jet use: short- to mid-range corporate transport, day trips and point-to-point regional missions within the aircraft’s 1,519 nm range and at typical cruise speeds around 449 kts. Avionics fit and detailed interior amenities for this specific serial RK-200 are not published in the available registry excerpts; maintenance history and specific equipment options are likewise not detailed in the public extracts reviewed. The owner/operator based in Clinton, NC, US is the primary listed operator in public records.

The airframe is a Beechjet 400A produced by Raytheon Aircraft Company, representing the light business jet segment with twin JT15D turbofan powerplants. With a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and seating for 10, the model occupies a performance niche between very light jets and larger midsize cabins, offering relatively high cruise speed for regional business missions. Competing models in this category typically attract buyers seeking fast, short- to mid-range point-to-point capability; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would generally hinge on engine hours, avionics fit and interior condition, factors not published in the registry extracts for N954DS.
