533 Hawker business jets are currently on the FAA registry — the mid-size cabin class built first by British Aerospace/Hawker Siddeley and later by Raytheon and Hawker Beechcraft, led by the widely-flown 800XP (279), the newer 900XP (130), and the 850XP (60).
Why ownership history is easy to lose track of on this fleet
Hawkers changed manufacturer names more than once over their production run — British Aerospace, then Raytheon Aircraft, then Hawker Beechcraft — and many airframes have passed through charter operators, fractional programs, and several private owners along the way. A jet with that kind of history is exactly where a current-tail-only search falls short: the FAA can reissue a cancelled N-number to a different airframe after five years (14 CFR 47.15/47.17), so a search of only today's tail number can miss an accident recorded under a prior registration, or wrongly attach another jet's accident to the one you're buying.
What a $79 report adds
Current FAA registration status, prior registrants, recent FAA filings (bills of sale, security agreements/liens — the same paper trail a broker or escrow agent will also pull), full NTSB accident and incident history, and the serial-number cross-match that catches an accident hiding under a prior tail number.
