Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N189SB, is a 2002-build Learjet 60 with manufacturer's serial number 210. The jet is recorded on U.S. registry as owned by SKY BALLAS LLC, an LLC based in El Paso, TX, US, and the listing indicates the company as the primary operator/home base. Registration activity shows the airframe entered the U.S. registry under this owner and is maintained on the U.S. civil register. Public valuation or detailed condition summaries for this specific serial are not published.
The airframe is configured in an executive cabin layout with registry data listing 11 seats, while the Learjet 60 type typically reports 6–8 executive seats in common executive interiors; this implies a denser seating arrangement or supplemental cabin equipment for this specific example. Specific avionics fit and interior finish details are not published for this serial. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include medium‑range business travel where the combination of a 2,418 nm range and 436 kt cruise speed supports coast‑to‑coast or transnational trips; operations for this airframe are centered on its owner/operator in El Paso, TX, US. Maintenance considerations follow Learjet 60 program norms, with twin PW305A turbofans requiring scheduled shop visits and adherence to manufacturer service bulletins.
The Learjet 60 occupies the mid‑sized light‑to‑midsize business jet niche, offering a high cruise speed and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft that appeals to owners seeking fast point‑to‑point travel. Competing models in a similar mission band typically include mid‑size offerings from other manufacturers with comparable range and cabin capacity; buyer demand often favors examples with lower-hour PW305A engines and well‑documented maintenance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this particular airframe will reflect its 2002 build year, serial 210, current owner/operator status with SKY BALLAS LLC, and any records associated with its U.S. registration.
