Beechcraft Starship N723SC NC-50 landing at Addison Airport

Footage of a Beechcraft Starship, registration N723SC (serial number NC-50), arriving at Addison Airport on June 7, 2026. For this arrival, the aircraft was operating under the callsign STRSHP1 and flying with the FAA Privacy ICAO (PIA) code A4F871. This aircraft was built in 1994. About the Owner This specific Starship is owned and operated by Aerospace Quality Research & Development (AQRD), which is based right out of Addison Airport. AQRD is an aerospace engineering firm and Part 145 repair station. Because the original manufacturer decommissioned the Starship fleet in 2003 and stopped producing replacement parts, keeping the aircraft airworthy is a highly specialized task. AQRD utilizes its in-house engineering capabilities to custom-fabricate and FAA-certify the necessary parts to keep NC-50 flying.
