Empty weight is 5035 pounds. It is configured with the "deluxe" VIP interior. I saw one the other day which was configured as sparingly as possible and it was around 4700 pounds empty.

On another note in order to go to 7500 pounds you must have 4 things. These are : strobe fitted on the front to scare birds, cockpit voice recorder, HTAWS and a radar altimeter. In our case this will increase our gross weight by about 15 pounds, but then we have to wait for the FAA to get on board in any case. Or not!
