N239SR

The airframe bearing registration N239SR is a 2006-built Learjet 45, manufacturer serial number 45-2049, completed by Learjet Inc. The aircraft is recorded on U.S. civil registers and is registered to APPLE REALTY GROUP INC, a corporation based in Richmond, VA, US, which serves as the current owner on FAA records. Operationally the jet is listed as a fixed-wing multi-engine business aircraft and its registry history shows standard corporate ownership rather than an airline or large charter operator. Valuation and public condition assessments for this specific airframe are Not published.

This Learjet 45 is registered with 12 seats in FAA records, though the model commonly operates in an executive interior and this airframe is consistent with a typical flat-floor layout accommodating 8–9 passengers in executive configuration. Avionics fit for the Learjet 45 series is typically the Honeywell Primus 1000, which supports the aircraft’s high-speed cruise and high-altitude flight profile; this installation is consistent with mission sets including continental business hops and transcontinental light-corporate travel within the aircraft’s 1,971 nm range. Based from the owner’s location in Richmond, VA, US, typical operations would include regional executive transport, positioning flights to major East Coast business hubs, and ad hoc charter-like missions under corporate control. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the model’s twin Honeywell TFE731 engines and high-altitude systems, with attention to pressurization and jet-age avionics support.

The Learjet 45 family occupies a light-medium business jet niche characterized by high cruise speed (445 kts) and a service ceiling up to 51,000 ft, offering swift point-to-point travel for small corporate groups. Competing models in its era include the Cessna Citation Excel/Bravo series and early versions of the Gulfstream G100/G150; buyers prioritize speed, runway performance and cabin comfort. For resale and maintenance, common considerations are engines (Honeywell TFE731-20AR) hour cycles, avionics upgrades such as modernizing from Honeywell Primus 1000, and interior reconfiguration between the FAA-registered 12 seats and a lower-count executive layout.
