N115LJ

This entry describes airframe N115LJ, a Bombardier Aerospace (Learjet) Model Learjet 45 with manufacturer's serial number 45-2115. The airframe is recorded on the US registry as US and is owned by UMB Bank NA Trustee, identified as a corporate/trust owner; no operator or home base is published. The type-equipped value for this specific airframe is listed as $2,000,000, and available records for this tail indicate standard certification and registration status without published incidents or special markings. Ownership under a trustee suggests use in corporate, financial-holding, or asset-management roles rather than direct commercial operation.

The aircraft carries a flat-floor executive cabin configured in the Learjet 45 family style; typical executive interiors are fitted for 6–9 passengers though type certificates and this airframe support higher seat counts up to approximately 12 in some layouts. Avionics fit on the type are from the Honeywell Primus family, consistent with Primus 1000-era suites typical to the 45 family; this airframe is noted with that avionics lineage for IFR and corporate transport missions. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short- to medium-range corporate and trustee-controlled positioning flights within the listed range and cruise speeds; specific routing, crew base, and maintenance shop visits for N115LJ are not published in available data. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow Learjet 45 schedules and Honeywell TFE731-series engine overhauls.

The Learjet 45 family occupies a light-corporate jet niche characterized by relatively high cruise speed and altitude capability for its class, exemplified here by a 436‑kt cruise and 51,000‑ft ceiling. Competing models in market segments often include light-cabin business jets with similar mission ranges near 1,692 nm; buyer and charter demand for older airframes is influenced by avionics fit, interior condition, and maintenance history. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial (45-2115) reflect typical lifecycle issues for the type: engine TBO and Honeywell avionics support, with trustee ownership often indicating an asset-management approach to disposition or charter use.
