N241LJ

This article covers airframe N241LJ, a 2004-build Learjet 45 with manufacturer's serial 45-241. The airframe was completed in 2004 by Learjet Inc. (Bombardier Aerospace) and is currently owned and operated by Double Whiskey Aviation LLC, an LLC based in Midland, TX, US. The aircraft is US-registered and is notable in the registry for being held in private corporate ownership rather than as part of a large charter fleet. As a mid-age example of the type its market valuation is estimated at $7,500,000, reflecting typical condition and equipment for a 2004 Learjet 45.

The cabin of N241LJ is fitted in a typical eight-place executive club layout with forward and aft club seating, reflecting its role as an owner-flown or business-aviation transport. Avionics fit is reported as the Honeywell Primus 1000 (typical), supporting conventional avionics and navigation capabilities associated with the model. Operating from its base in Midland, TX, US, the aircraft’s performance profile — with a 1,700 nm range and 445 kt cruise — suits medium‑range corporate missions, shuttle flights between regional business centers, and owner/operator transport. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow the Learjet 45’s established programs; as a privately held airframe, scheduled upkeep and avionics updates are generally managed directly by the owner/operator.

The Learjet 45 as represented by N241LJ occupies the light-to-mid-size business jet segment with high cruise speed and high-altitude capability (ceiling 51,000 ft) enabled by twin Honeywell TFE731-20 engines. Its eight-seat executive cabin and 1,700 nm range position it for intra-continental business routes. In the resale and ownership market, examples from 2004 trade based on completion standards, avionics fit (the Honeywell Primus 1000 typical fit is a factor), and maintenance history, all contributing to the stated valuation of $7,500,000.
