N16CS

This airframe, tail number N16CS, is a 1997-built Learjet 60 manufactured by Learjet Inc, serial 60-098. It is owned by AIRCRAFT GUARANTY CORP TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US and is registered in the US. The aircraft carries a reported market valuation of $2,000,000, reflecting its late-1990s build, continued certification for up to 11 seats under its registration, and typical condition expectations for airframes of this vintage. Notable registry and ownership actions are limited to the publicly supplied trustee ownership; no other transfers or operator entries are provided in the available data.

The cabin of N16CS is configured in a typical executive 7–8 passenger layout with a forward galley, club seating, and an aft lavatory, while the aircraft is certified for up to 11 seats per its registration. Avionics are listed as Collins Pro Line 4 as typical for the type, though the data notes that some airframes may have been upgraded or retrofitted; no specific upgrade history is provided for this airframe. Typical mission profiles for this airframe and equipment package would include executive point-to-point transport and charter hops within the aircraft’s 2,418 nm range and high-speed cruise of 436 kts, exploiting the type’s long-range light business jet capabilities. Maintenance considerations follow those of in-production Learjet 60 airframes with twin PW305A engines and systems common to the Collins Pro Line 4 suite.

The Learjet 60 occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speeds and a service ceiling to 51,000 ft paired with transcontinental range in many mission profiles. Competing models in the era encompass other late-1990s light midsize jets; buyers and charter operators typically seek the Learjet 60 for speed and climb performance rather than the largest cabin volume. Resale and maintenance considerations for N16CS reflect its 1997 vintage, the PW305A engine commonality, and avionics fit; the reported $2,000,000 value aligns with aging airframes where airworthiness, logs, and any avionics upgrades materially affect marketability.
