N160BP

This entry covers airframe N160BP, a 1998-built Learjet 60 with manufacturer serial number 60-138. The airframe was built by Learjet Inc. (Bombardier Aerospace) and is registered in the United States to individual owner John S Beeson of Houston, TX. The airframe carries US registration and a noted market valuation of $1,935,833, reflecting its condition and equipment as of the last published record. The airframe’s registry history is characterized by individual private ownership rather than corporate or fractional operators.

The cabin of this specific Learjet 60 is fitted in a typical seven-place executive club layout with an enclosed aft lavatory and a refreshment/galley area, configured for executive transport and short- to medium-haul point-to-point missions. Avionics aboard are reported as Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, described as typical for 60XR examples and supporting modern glass cockpit functionality for crew situational awareness and navigation. Operating profiles for this aircraft follow the Learjet 60’s efficient, high-speed cruise capability—allowing transcontinental or offshore missions up to the published range—while basing and crewing are consistent with private ownership from Houston, TX. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow standard twin-engine business-jet practice; enclosed galley and lavatory arrangements are maintained for private executive comfort.

The Learjet 60 occupies a performance niche as a mid-size, high-speed light business jet with a high service ceiling and relatively long range for its class. Competing considerations in the market often compare its cruise speed and ceiling against newer light-medium business jets; buyer and charter demand for well-equipped, Pro Line 21–avionics examples tends to favor aircraft with upgraded systems and documented maintenance. Resale considerations for this airframe are influenced by its serial-specific configuration, the equipped PW305A engines, and the market valuation of $1,935,833, which guides owners and brokers when assessing trade or private sale options.
