The story
The Hawker 800 has been the backbone of midsize business aviation for decades. Originally a de Havilland design, it's been built by Hawker Siddeley, BAe, Raytheon, and Hawker Beechcraft. No matter who owns the nameplate, it just keeps flying.
650 Hawker 800-series jets were built, and the bloodline runs back to the de Havilland DH.125 of 1962.
