RADAR ESTIMATE

What N135ME is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Hawker 4000 on its own yet, so this borrows the Bombardier Challenger 300 curve, scales it to N135ME's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N135ME

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, August 2026. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This airframe, carrying U.S. registration N135ME, is a 2008-built Hawker 4000 (marketed as the Hawker Horizon) with serial number RC-13. It is owned and operated by Tenacious Aviation Group LLC, a Scottsdale, Arizona-based corporation, and appears in U.S. civil registers under that corporate ownership. Its recorded configuration and equipment indicate a typical late-production Hawker 4000 specification and market placement.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin for this Hawker 4000 example normally accommodates an executive 8-10 place layout with a forward galley, club seating and an aft enclosed lavatory; flexible configurations are noted as possible for different mission sets. Typical avionics fit for Hawker 4000 examples, and likely for this airframe, is the Honeywell Primus Epic integrated flight deck, supporting mixed long-range corporate transport and fast point-to-point charters. Operationally, the aircraft’s published range of 3,280 nm and cruise of 470 kts suit transcontinental U.S. and regional international missions from its Scottsdale, AZ base. Maintenance considerations on this airframe follow those of the Hawker 4000 fleet, including systems specific to the PW308A engine type and the integrated Honeywell avionics suite.

Model & Market Context

The Hawker 4000/Hawker Horizon occupies a mid-to-large cabin light-medium business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and long-range capability compared with older light jets. Competing models in range and speed include certain long-range light-medium business jets, and buyer demand is driven by operators seeking transcontinental range with a relatively compact airframe.
