N221WR

This article covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N221WR, a 2008-built Bombardier Learjet 45XR with manufacturer listed as Learjet Inc and serial number 360. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by WAGNER RICHARD S, an individual based in Plano, IL, US; this ownership is the primary recorded operator/home base association on public registry entries. The single-airframe history available centers on its 2008 build and subsequent civil registration; notable registry actions are limited to the active U.S. registration and the valuation entries showing a market estimate. Condition and valuation summaries list a market value of $3,400,000, reflecting its configuration and age relative to the type.

The airframe is equipped with a cabin installation described as the typical 7–8 place executive club layout common to Learjet 45XR installations, while the FAA registration for this aircraft lists 12 seats for regulatory purposes. Avionics-fit is recorded as the Honeywell Primus 1000, noted as a typical fit for 45/45XR airframes, supporting standard business-jet navigation and systems management for its mission set. Operationally, this airframe’s performance envelope—long-range capability near 1,685 nm and high-speed cruise of 425 kts to a service ceiling of 51,000 ft—suits short to transcontinental executive transport, air ambulance or high-priority cargo roles under private individual ownership. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft align with the TFE731 engine type and Learjet 45XR airframe inspection cycles as implied by its configuration and age.

The Bombardier Learjet 45XR occupies a light to mid-size business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and a high service ceiling compared with smaller light jets. Competing models in the segment typically include other late-model light-medium jets offering similar range and speed metrics; demand is commonly from charter operators, owner-flown individuals, and corporate fleets. For this airframe, the recorded $3,400,000 valuation reflects market depreciation, engine and avionics commonality (Honeywell TFE731 series and Primus 1000), and resale considerations tied to seating configuration and documented U.S. registry. Maintenance and resale prospects are influenced by the airframe’s year (2008), serialized history (360), and documented ownership in Plano, IL, US.
