Netjets Hawker 800/850?

Does anyone happen to know why its becoming more common to see netjets Hawkers in the US. Are these European regs or are there some American registered.

Thanks

Not quite sure what you mean...NetJets has had Hawkers flying in the US for years...albeit it's a limited fleet of 800XP's & 900XP's, but they are here, and have been here.

Here's one from May 2007


October 2007


I know they had a bunch of 900XP's on order...they are just waiting for them to be delivered. They will be USA based.

Indeed NetJets has a decent size Hawker fleet in the US. I got to fly on 400XP (TEB-CMH), 800XP (CMH-CLE), and 1000 (TEB-HPN). At that time, 400XP was the only a/c with XM music so we had it blasting for the entire flight, it was a fun ride 8) They got rid of 1000s a few years ago, but the rest are still flying. Maybe you are referring to Horizon/4000? Those were only ordered by NetJets Europe, so if you saw one of those, it was probably a European (CS-) tail instead of US one (QS).

I love NetJets and I am jealous of you.

For some reason I had only seen the 800XPs in Europe and never realized they had them available in the US. The only 4000s I have seen I believe had a reg from Portugal.

Thanks for your anwsers and both of your pix
