N211GS

This airframe, registered as N211GS, is a Learjet 55 built by Gates Learjet Corp in 1982 with serial number 55-021. Ownership is recorded to International Air Services Inc Trustee, a corporate owner based in Carson City, NV, US, and the aircraft carries a US registration. The jet is listed in a mature condition profile with an estimated market Value: $750,000, reflecting its age and position in the secondary market. Notable documentation emphasizes the difference between its FAA certificated capacity and typical outfitting: certificated for 13 seats but most operator interiors employ a typical executive layout for 6–8 passengers.

The aircraft is typically configured in an executive cabin layout accommodating 6–8 passengers despite an FAA certificated seating capacity of 13, a common arrangement for the type reflecting business and charter usage. Avionics fit is not published in the available data, but operational performance is supported by its twin Garrett TFE731-3A-2B powerplants, each rated at 3,700 lbf, enabling long-range cross-country missions up to 2,165 nm at an economical cruise around 402 kts. Based from Carson City, NV, US under the corporate ownership of International Air Services Inc Trustee, the airframe is typically employed on executive transport and charter sectors where its range and high-altitude capability to 51,000 ft are operational advantages. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include typical older-model Learjet lifecycle and value factors inherent to a 1982 serial 55-021.

The Learjet 55 occupies a mid-range business jet niche with high-speed cruise and transcontinental capability, competing historically with other light-to-midsize business jets of its era. Market demand for this airframe is generally oriented toward buyers seeking classic Learjet performance at lower acquisition cost, reflected in the $750,000 valuation. Resale and maintenance considerations for this unit hinge on airframe hours, engine TBOs for the Garrett TFE731-3A-2B series, and the difference between certificated seating (13) and typical executive fit-outs, which affect charter certification and passenger mission flexibility.
