Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N126EC, is a 2002-built Bombardier Learjet 45 bearing serial number 45-226. The jet is owned and operated by Guardian Flight LLC, a corporation based in Lewisville, TX, US, which appears as the current operator and home-base registrant. The aircraft carries a US registration and is valued at approximately $2,400,000, reflecting a used-civilian executive transport condition typical of early-2000s Learjet 45 examples. No additional registry actions or prior owners are published in the provided data.
The cabin of this specific Learjet 45 is configured in executive club seating intended for the typical 7–12 pax layouts, with an aft lavatory and a small galley installed to support short to medium-length business missions. Avionics are reported as the OEM Honeywell Primus 1000 / Primus II suite, though many Learjet 45 airframes often receive aftermarket upgrades; no specific retrofit history is provided for N126EC. Operated from Lewisville, TX, the aircraft's mission profile is consistent with regional executive transport, air ambulance support, or corporate shuttle services given its transcontinental-but-not ultra-long range and high cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would align with typical Learjet 45 practices for the Honeywell TFE731 series and airframe aging items, but specific maintenance status is not published.
The Bombardier Learjet 45 family occupies the light-to-mid-size business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and a maximum operating ceiling of 51,000 ft, which supports efficient short-haul to transcontinental missions. Competing models in its era include light-medium business jets with similar speed and range figures; buyer and charter demand for airframes like N126EC depends heavily on avionics fit, interior condition, and engine life. Resale and maintenance considerations are influenced by the TFE731 engine maintenance cycles and common upgrade paths for the Primus avionics, factors that shape valuation near the reported $2,400,000 level.
