Raytheon Company last month announced a $3.3 billion "definitive agreement" that will result in the sale of Raytheon Aircraft to Onex Partners of Toronto and GS Capital Partners, an affiliate of New York-based Goldman Sachs. The acquisition will operate as Hawker Beechcraft Corp., and the deal includes Raytheon Aircraft assets in Wichita and Salina, Kan.; Little Rock, Ark.; and Dallas, as well as its FBOs and service center network in Mexico, the U.S. and the UK. Not included in the sale is Raytheon's Flight Options fractional-ownership program and Raytheon Airline Aviation Services, which supports the fleet of Beech airliners no longer in production. The sale is expected to close within six months.

“Let me be straight with you. What I'd rather have is an airplane. We just had a third kid. I don't like flying commercial. I like to take my family to Hawaii. When I go east, I'd like to have pilots I know. ”
