N118RK

This entry documents airframe N118RK, a 2006-built Learjet 45 with manufacturer serial number 45-296. The airframe is owned by Taber Air LLC, an Oklahoma City, OK–based limited liability company, and is registered in the US. Registration actions and ownership assignments are recorded to Taber Air LLC in the civil registry, and current valuation records list the airframe at $3,600,000. Condition highlights reflect a standard mid-2000s Learjet 45 airframe typical of business-jet operators, with no additional incident history published in the provided dataset.

The cabin of N118RK is fitted in an executive double-club layout commonly configured for 8–9 passengers, while the registry lists up to 12 seats; the fit includes an enclosed lavatory and an external baggage compartment sized approximately 15–50 cubic feet depending on interior fit. Avionics for this airframe follow the typical installation for the model, identified as Honeywell Primus 1000 / Honeywell Primus-class EFIS, supporting conventional business aviation navigation and flight management tasks. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter operations within a roughly 1,968 nm range, operating from the owner/operator base in Oklahoma City. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft align with Honeywell TFE731 engine support programs and Learjet 45 airframe scheduled maintenance cycles as applied by its LLC operator.

The Learjet 45 family occupies the light to midsize end of the business-jet spectrum, offering relatively high cruise speed (436 kts) and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, positioning it for fast regional and transcontinental missions within its range capability. Competing models in its era include other light-to-midsize jets offering similar speed and cabin arrangements; buyer and charter demand historically favors well-maintained, avionics-upgraded airframes. Resale considerations for this airframe reflect age, engine cycles on the Honeywell TFE731-20AR pair, interior configuration flexibility (8–12 seats), and the prevailing market valuation of $3,600,000.
