The Hendrix Family
Aviation grounded in real life.
HX Aviation is our family’s business, and that carries real responsibility. We approach aircraft representation with discipline and care, recognizing the weight of the decisions involved. Our work is shaped by accountability, sound judgment, and the attention required when helping others navigate complex aircraft decisions.
Expertise without ego. Integrity by design.
We’re guided by practical principles that shape how we evaluate aircraft, advise clients, and conduct transactions. These values are our standards, applied daily, especially when situations are complex or pressure is high.
Integrity
Every interaction reflects honesty, clarity, and ethical grounding, ensuring your decisions are based on truth rather than convenience.
Stewardship
Your aircraft, investment, and goals are treated with responsibility and care, ensuring decisions remain aligned with long-term value at every step.
Trust
Confidence is earned through consistency and an approach oriented toward long-term decisions rather than short-term gains.
Initiative
Progress comes from proactive action, anticipating needs early and responding deliberately as conditions evolve over time and complexity.
Excellence
High standards define every detail, delivering precision, reliability, and execution appropriate for the aviation decisions you’re making.
Commitment
Long-term dedication shapes the relationship, keeping you informed and supported from the first conversation through final execution.
How We Work
Brokerage
HX manages the full lifecycle of aircraft representation, from market entry through closing. Our process integrates pricing strategy, presentation, buyer engagement, and transaction coordination to guide the sale to a clean, well-executed conclusion.
Valuation
Aircraft values shift with market conditions, configuration, and demand. HX provides valuation insight grounded in current market data and model-specific context, helping establish a realistic range that supports informed financing or sale decisions.
Management
HX supports aircraft ownership through coordinated maintenance oversight and day-to-day operational administration. Our role is to manage operational details deliberately, reduce unnecessary friction, and help ensure the aircraft is cared for consistently over time.
Acquisition
HX supports aircraft acquisition by first clarifying mission requirements and operating priorities, and constraints. We then identify suitable models, evaluate available aircraft, and coordinate negotiations and due diligence to support a well-considered purchase.
Trade
Aircraft missions and requirements change over time. HX supports aircraft trades by coordinating evaluation of the current aircraft, identifying suitable replacements, and managing the transaction structure to ensure an orderly transition between airframes.
We’re Pilots
Every member of the HX team is an FAA-certificated pilot. That shared background informs how we evaluate aircraft, communicate with owners, and approach decisions that carry real operational responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the biggest risks selling an aircraft?
Selling an aircraft carries meaningful risks beyond finding a buyer. Title defects, unqualified inquiries, inspection disputes, and paperwork issues can delay or derail a transaction if they are not addressed early. Our process identifies these blind spots upfront, manages risk deliberately, and keeps the sale moving efficiently toward a clean closing.
How long does it take to sell a plane?
Aircraft sales typically take several months, depending on market conditions and aircraft readiness. We shorten that timeline by going to market only when your aircraft is fully prepared, with a complete sales package and potential obstacles addressed in advance. This disciplined approach improves buyer confidence, reduces friction, and supports a timely, well-executed sale.
What does it cost to broker?
We work on a straightforward fee-only model, so you know exactly what our services cost before we begin. Because our compensation is fixed, every dollar negotiated in the transaction benefits you directly, not us. Our focus remains on disciplined execution and negotiating the best possible outcome for your aircraft.
Can I still fly my plane while it’s listed?
In many cases, yes. We structure listings to accommodate continued operation when it makes sense, while maintaining accurate records and clear disclosures for buyers. Our goal is to balance flexibility for the owner with transparency and confidence for the market.
