N968AB

The airframe bearing tail number N968AB is a 1997-build Hawker 800XP with serial number 258315, manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The aircraft is owned by N968AB LLC, a corporate owner located in Southfield, MI, US, and is registered in the US. Currently on the US registry under corporate ownership, this fixed-wing multi-engine business jet is valued at approximately $2,000,000, reflecting its age and market position within late-1990s midsize cabin jets. No additional historic operators or title events are published beyond the listed corporate ownership and registration.

The airframe is typically fitted in an executive configuration: a forward club, a mid four-place club or single chairs, an aft divan and an aft lavatory, producing a commonly flown interior accommodating 8–10 passengers despite the higher certified seating count of 15. Operated from a corporate base consistent with its Southfield, Michigan ownership, the aircraft’s mission profile centers on short- to transcontinental high-speed business transport—the combination of a 430 kt cruise and 2,432 nm range enables regional and cross-country flights without frequent stops. Avionics fit is not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with Honeywell TFE731-series engine support and typical airframe inspections for 1990s Hawker 800XP aircraft, with corporate-operation logistics handled from its Michigan location.

The Hawker 800XP occupies the midsize, mid-range business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and cabin comfort than light jets while remaining more economical than large-cabin types. Competing models in this era include late-1990s midsize jets from rival manufacturers; buyer and charter demand tends to emphasize proven reliability and cabin layout flexibility. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 1997 build year, the TFE731 engine series support network, and the listed $2,000,000 valuation relative to interior condition and avionics upgrades.
