Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N109SB, is a 1975 North American Rockwell Sabreliner 75A (NA-380) with serial number 380-20. The airframe is recorded in the United States registry and is owned by the Chicago-based corporation Sabre Direct, located in Chicago, IL, US. The aircraft’s registration and corporate ownership tie it to a fixed-base operator/operator profile consistent with business and charter usage; no prior ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond the current corporate registration are published. The airframe’s documented condition and valuation highlights are not published.
The aircraft is configured as a twelve-place cabin with registry-listed 12 seats, supporting typical corporate transport or small-group charter missions. Specifics of the installed cabin layout, such as club seating versus forward executive arrangements, are not published; the registry lists a 12-place seating configuration. Avionics fit and modifications are not published for this specific airframe. Based in Chicago, IL, the airplane’s listed performance—particularly its long range of 1,897 nm and cruise speed of 417 kts—supports medium-haul intercity business missions and transcontinental flights within North America when operated under typical fuel and payload profiles. Routine maintenance considerations follow the vintage airframe and turbine-era engine type, with operator maintenance driven by corporate standards and regulatory requirements.
The North American Rockwell Sabreliner 75A (NA-380) occupies a mid-size business jet niche among 1970s-era twinjet designs, offering transcontinental range and high-altitude capability to 45,000 ft. Competing models historically include other light-to-mid-size business jets of the era; buyer and charter demand for specific Sabreliner airframes often hinges on documented maintenance history, avionics updates, and cabin refurbishment. For this airframe—N109SB, serial 380-20—resale and operational considerations will center on the airframe’s vintage 1975 build year and the installed General Electric CF700-2D-2 engines.
