Hawker Beechcraft took the wraps off the Hawker 450XP and King Air 350i here yesterday. Both aircraft enjoy cabin makeovers for the people in back who pay the bills and, in the case of the revamped Hawker, the pilots up front will get Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics and more modern engines.

Charles Mayer moved to Hawker Beechcraft earlier this year from Maserati and Cadillac, and in his capacity as vice president of marketing with the venerable Wichita manufacturer he brought some automotive-style razzle-dazzle to the press introduction here yesterday.
