Note to Editors – Aircraft Quick Facts: • - The flagship of the Hawker® line, the composite-fuselage Hawker 4000 truly sets the standard for quality, performance and value in the super-midsize class of aircraft. Intelligence balance of speed (top speed of 557 mph - 484 kt - 896 km/h), range (max range of 3,280 nm – 6,075 km) and payload, delivering large cabin luxury – a true six-foot standup cabin – with midsize aircraft economics. Featuring one of the most advanced suites in any business jet – the Honeywell Primus Epic®, your regional or intercontinental opportunities are never far.

• Hawker 900XP - The next generation of the best-selling midsized business jet (the Hawker 800 series), the Hawker 900XP has combined new Honeywell engines with winglets and a large cabin for increased performance, range (2,883 nm – 5,339 km max range), efficiency, comfort and unprecedented value. It was FAA certified in August 2007 with more flexibility for long-range missions and features a legendary custom interior design with cabin comfort that is the largest in its class.

• Hawker 750 - Also from the Hawker 800 lineage, this new light-midsize business jet redefines its class. It offers the best range (2,116 nm - 3,919 km max range) and payload capabilities in its class, and incorporates a large luxurious cabin that measures 6’0” (1.83 m) wide and 5’9” (1.74 m) tall. Also features both internal and external baggage areas that total 79.3 cu ft (2.25 cu m) and 500 lb (227 kg) in weight capacity. It was FAA certified in February 2008.

• Beechcraft King Air 350 - The King Air series is the #1 turboprop lineup in the world. With continuous product enhancements, more than 7,000 Beechcraft® King Airs have been produced since 1964. The King Air 350 is a "load and go" aircraft. Fill all eight seats in the luxurious double-club cabin. Fill the class leading heated, pressurized, and in-flight-accessible baggage area – the largest in its class. Then, fill the tanks with fuel (enough to fly nearly 1,500-statue miles) and you are ready to take on anything, for business or pleasure. Plus, the King Air 350 can operate on runways as short as 3,300 feet with exceptional short-field performance.

• Beechcraft King Air 350ER - Hawker Beechcraft Corporation also markets, produces and supports special-mission aircraft for military and governments worldwide. Our new Beechcraft King Air 350ER offers extended range and a variety of surveillance radar, ISR, air ambulance and special-mission capabilities.

• Beechcraft King Air B200GT - From the best-selling aircraft model of all time, the 350-miles-per- hour King Air B200GT now delivers a higher level of performance (higher cruise speeds and faster climb), flexibility and efficiency due to new Pratt & Whitney Canada engines. With the King Air B200GT, a heavy business load never stops your doing business. The King Air B200GT was FAA certified in November 2007.

• Beechcraft King Air C90GTi - Advanced Collins Pro Line 21 full integrated avionics take the new King Air C90GTi cockpit to that of our other King Airs and larger jets, while retaining the same operational flexibility, a private lavatory and a 50-percent larger cabin than most VLJs, seating up to seven passengers. And the C90GTi is at home almost anywhere. It has the ability to operate from remote, unimproved fields as easily as it flows into congested, terminal airspace, providing operators with the versatility to utilize airports inaccessible to most jets. Not to mention it is incredibly fuel- efficient. The King Air C90GTi was FAA certified in December 2007.
