N128BG

The airframe bearing tail number N128BG is a Learjet 31A built by Learjet Inc in 2000, manufacturer serial 31A-212. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by E D SANTOS & ASSOCIATES LLC TRUSTEE, an entity listed as LLC Trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US. Registry data and valuation records indicate a market value of $598,648, and no alternate operators or prior registrants are published for this specific serial in the supplied data. Notable administrative action includes its listing under a trustee entity, which may reflect corporate ownership or estate-related titling.

The cabin of N128BG is fitted in a typical executive configuration with a forward side-facing seat, a mid-cabin four-place club, and an aft divan with belted lavatory; 6–10 passenger configurations have been reported for this airframe. Avionics fit varies by retrofit on this airframe and includes either a Bendix/King EFIS-50 or a Honeywell EFIS, a Universal UNS-1 FMS, King KFC-3100 autopilot, Honeywell EGPWS and TCAS II, supporting modern IFR operations and situational awareness. Mission profiles for this airframe align with light business jet usage: short to medium-range executive transport, day or short overnight trips within the quoted 1,252 nm range and high-speed cruise near 441 kts. Maintenance considerations for this particular airframe would center on aging-system retrofits and engine shop visits typical of early-2000s installations, as suggested by the presence of varied EFIS retrofits.

The Learjet 31A family occupies the high-speed, light-cabin business jet niche, offering transcontinental speed and a high service ceiling of 51,000 ft that appeals to owners prioritizing fast point-to-point trips. Competing models in its class include other light jets offering similar range and speed but differing cabin layouts; buyer demand for 31A airframes often focuses on performance and operating cost trade-offs. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial include the need to track avionics retrofit histories and engine maintenance cycles for the Honeywell TFE731-2-3B pair, factors that directly affect valuation and continued airworthiness.
