N135SH

This write-up covers airframe tail number N135SH, a 1981-built Learjet 35A manufactured by GATES LEARJET CORP with serial number 335. The airframe is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by Med Air LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US. Ownership is held by Med Air LLC, with the aircraft associated with medevac/critical-care configurations in registry notes. The airframe's reported market valuation is $817,865, reflecting a mature airframe in the light business jet class with specialized mission fitments noted for this tail.

The cabin for N135SH is described as a typical executive layout of six to eight seats, though the airframe is reported to have configurations including medevac and critical-care fitouts specific to this tail, indicating role flexibility between business transport and airborne medical missions. Avionics fit is not published in the available data, but the aircraft’s performance—cruise speed and range—supports regional to transcontinental flights within the light jet category, commonly used for charter, corporate repositioning, and on-demand medical evacuation runs. The operator is recorded as Med Air LLC, based in Wilmington, DE, US, and maintenance considerations for this airframe will include lifecycle management of Garrett TFE731 series engines and systems common to early-1980s Learjet airframes.

The Learjet 35A family occupies the light, high-speed business jet niche with a high-altitude ceiling and efficient twin-engine layout that made it popular for both executive transport and medevac roles. Competing models historically include other light jets offering similar range and speed, while buyers often value the 35A for its climb and cruise performance and flexibility for mission-specific interiors. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1981 airframe such as N135SH reflect airframe age, remaining airframe life, engine time on type, and the market impact of specialized medical conversions on versatility and value.
