One week after gaining full FAA type approval and production certification for the Hawker 4000, Hawker Beechcraft delivered the first copy of the super-midsize jet to customers Gary and Donna Hall during a ceremony on June 18 at the company’s headquarters in Wichita. Gary Hall currently operates a Hawker 800XP. The 4000 is the fourth Hawker Beechcraft airplane that he has owned and the first of two Hawker 4000s he ordered.

“This is not only a truly significant moment in Hawker Beechcraft’s history, but also a landmark day for general aviation as we begin delivering… our flagship Hawker 4000,” Hawker Beechcraft chairman and CEO Jim Schuster said at the handover ceremony. “I am delighted to present the first Hawker 4000 to Mr. and Mrs. Hall as they–along with our large number of Hawker 4000 customers worldwide–will enjoy this revolutionary aircraft.”
