Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. — one of the largest privately held arts-and-crafts retailers in the world, founded in 1972 by David Green in Oklahoma City, where it remains headquartered. The evangelical-Christian Green family owns the company outright; it operates more than 900 stores nationwide and was at the center of the 2014 U.S. Supreme Court case Burwell v. Hobby Lobby.
The corporate flight department is registered as HL Aircraft LLC (trading as Hobby Lobby Aviation), based in the air-cargo complex at Will Rogers World Airport (KOKC) in Oklahoma City. The fleet blends super-midsize and light jets: three Bombardier Challenger 350s (type BD-100-1A10) — N2HL (hex A18E0B), N872HL (ABFE7E) and N1972H (A184D2, whose tail nods to the 1972 founding year) — plus four Learjet 45s: N72HL (A9A1ED), N272HL (A2AEA4), N372HL (A43BF3) and N472HL (A5C942). All seven are FAA-registered as valid to HL Aircraft LLC of Oklahoma City.
