Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics were added to the C90GT in 2008, and it was rebranded as the C90GTi. This created a large value difference between a 2007 and 2008 model.
the C90B was 230 days, with nearly 12 percent of the fleet sold. However, indications are pointing to a stable C90B market.
The C90GT segment is quite small, with only 98 models produced. Prices for an average aircraft range from approximately $1,750,000 to $1,800,000. The average hold time of a C90GT was 253 days, with just under 10 percent of the fleet selling in 2014. The C90GT market appears to be stable at this time.
There were 125 King Air C90GTi models produced, and six units sold in 2014, representing just under five percent of the fleet. The average days on the market in 2014 for it was 125 days. Pricing for an average C90GTi model ranges from approximately $1,900,000 to $2,000,000. Currently, pricing has stabilized for the C90GTi.
The C90GTx, which is the most current version of the C90, has a current production of about 132 aircraft. Six units sold in 2014, which represents four-and-a-half percent of the segment. Average hold time was 261 days on the market. Pricing for a

used C90GTx is between $2,200,000 to $2,700,000 for an average aircraft. The pricing on the used C90GTx is trending downward.
King Air B200
The King Air B200 has enjoyed an amazing production run with a basic aerodynamic design that has been largely unchanged for over 40 years. At first glance, it would be easy to group all of the B200s together as one single market. For the King Air B200 market, I can point to at least seven distinct market segments. The original B200 was an improved version of the King Air 200, from mid-year 1981 to 1984. For model year 1985, improvements such as a hydraulic landing gear, three element wing spar, and triple fed electrical bus created a separate segment within its market. For model year 1994, improvements such as a standard four blade propeller and a cabin noise reduction system created another market segment. In 1999, there was a redesign of the B200’s interior, as well as an increased TBO to 3,600 hours. Model year 2004 encompassed the biggest changes to date with the switch to the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Avionics System. This created a several hundred thousand dollar difference in value between the 2003 and 2004 model years. Another significant model change occurred in 2008 with the switch to Pratt & Whitney PT6A-52 engines, which resulted in the aircraft being rebranded as the King Air B200GT. The last model segment occurred in 2011 with yet another rebranding. Composite curved propellers, winglets, and Raisbeck’s Ram Air Recovery were added to the B200GT to make the new King Air 250.
For the 1981-1984 B200, approximately 280 airframes are still in service. Out of these, 29 sold
