N850MJ Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
Midsize jet performance from N850MJ: 448 knots, 2,642 nautical miles, 41,000-foot ceiling. The Hawker 850XP's 2x Honeywell TFE731-5BR are proven powerplants with extensive operator support networks.
Mission Profile
N850MJ's cabin accommodates 9 passengers across 21.3 ft of length. At 6.0 ft wide and 5.8 ft tall, the Hawker 850XP provides enough room for club seating and a small refreshment center.
Charter Authorization
Charter authorization is active for N850MJ under its Part 135 certificate. This Hawker 850XP is positioned for regional and short transcontinental routing. Contact The Jet Finder for scheduling.
Insider Note
Operating costs for the Hawker 850XP range from $3,000-$4,200 per flight hour depending on utilization and maintenance program enrollment. N850MJ's operator manages these costs within a Part 135 program where charter revenue is designed to offset fixed expenses.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N850MJ is a Hawker registered to WHITMORE HOLDINGS LLC. The Hawker 800 series is the most-produced midsize business jet in history, with over 1,100 delivered. Here is the operational context for this airframe.
Fleet Position
The Hawker 800 series remains one of the most operated midsize jets in the United States, with roughly 400 on active U.S. registrations. FAA data confirms N850MJ based in WEST CHICAGO, IL. While production ended in 2013, the installed fleet continues to fly significant charter and corporate hours. Parts support from Honeywell (engines) and Raytheon/Textron (airframe) remains available, though some Hawker-specific components carry longer lead times than Citation or Challenger parts.
Charter Availability
N850MJ is Part 135 charter authorized. Hawker charter rates have compressed as the fleet ages, currently running $3,500 to $5,000 per flight hour. This positions the Hawker as one of the most affordable standup-cabin jets on the charter market. The tradeoff is cabin technology: older interiors, less soundproofing than modern midsizes, and narrower cabin windows. For cost-conscious travelers who prioritize value over aesthetics, the Hawker remains a strong option.
Mission Profile
The Hawker handles the corporate workhorse mission: reliable, comfortable, and economical for daily business travel. Its climb performance gets to altitude quickly, reducing exposure to weather and ATC delays. Cruise at FL390 to FL430 puts it above most commercial traffic. The 2,500+ nm range covers every domestic city pair nonstop and reaches the Caribbean, Mexico, and western Canada without fuel stops.
When to Choose Something Else
The Hawker is wrong for passengers who expect current-generation cabin technology. LED lighting, cabin management systems, high-speed Wi-Fi, and noise-canceling interiors are standard on new-production midsizes but absent or retrofitted on most Hawkers. If your travelers compare the experience to a Latitude or Praetor 500, the Hawker will feel a generation behind.
Ownership & Operations
Operating costs for business jets break into fixed and variable categories. Fixed costs (hangar, insurance, crew salaries, management fees) accrue whether the aircraft flies or not. Variable costs (fuel, maintenance reserves, landing fees, handling) scale with flight hours. Owners flying fewer than 200 hours annually often find charter or fractional ownership more economical than whole aircraft ownership.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Total time on airframe and engines is the primary metric for aircraft valuation. Lower-time aircraft command premium pricing but cost more upfront. Higher-time aircraft offer lower acquisition cost but carry higher near-term maintenance exposure. The break-even analysis depends on planned utilization: buyers flying 400+ hours annually amortize acquisition cost faster and tolerate higher initial investment.
Charter Market Context
Jet card programs and membership plans lock in hourly rates for guaranteed availability. Cards typically require a $50,000 to $500,000 deposit and offer 24 to 48 hour booking windows with fixed hourly pricing. The value depends on usage frequency: clients flying 25+ hours annually benefit from rate certainty and guaranteed availability. Below 25 hours, on-demand charter often provides better economics.
