N96GA

This entry documents the Beechjet 400A airframe bearing registration N96GA, a 1999-built light business jet with manufacturer serial RK-238. The airframe was produced by Beechcraft (Raytheon Aircraft Company) and is recorded in U.S. civil registration as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. Ownership is listed to Woodland Ranch LLC, an LLC based in Odessa, MO, US, which is the current operator/home base for routine operations and maintenance oversight. The aircraft is appraised at $1,600,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and market position within late-1990s light jets.

The cabin of this Beechjet 400A is configured to accommodate 10 seats, consistent with typical light corporate transport layouts oriented for short to mid-range executive flights. Operated by Woodland Ranch LLC out of Odessa, MO, US, the aircraft’s mission profile is suited to point-to-point regional business travel and charter-like use within a roughly 1,180 nm range and high-speed cruise of 443 kts. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations center on the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 turbofan engines, each producing 2,900 lbf of thrust, and common component and airframe inspections typical for a 1999 Beechjet series airframe. Registry and valuation entries indicate an active U.S. registration and a market valuation near $1,600,000*.

The Beechjet 400A family occupies the light business-jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speeds and transcontinental flexibility for its class, exemplified by this airframe’s 443 kts cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling. Comparable competitors in the late-1990s and early-2000s market included variants of the Cessna Citation series and early Learjet models, which similarly balanced speed and cabin efficiency. Buyer and charter demand for late-model 1990s airframes often hinges on avionics updates, engine life remaining, and refurbishment status; with a recorded value of $1,600,000, operators typically weigh refurbishment or upgrade costs against operational utility and resale prospects.
