Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N245CM, is a 2009-built Learjet 45XR with manufacturer serial number 45-403. The aircraft is recorded as owned by RED RAIDER AIR LLC of Lubbock, TX, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe is identified in transaction and registry records at a market valuation of $3,400,000, reflecting its late-2000s build and equipment fit. No additional public registry actions or operator changes are recorded in the supplied data; the listed owner and home base indicate its current operational control and maintenance oversight in Lubbock.
The cabin of N245CM is outfitted in an executive double-club layout for 8 passengers, incorporating a forward galley and an aft belted lavatory to support full‑cabin service on typical missions. Avionics installed on this airframe include a Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS, dual Universal UNS-1Ew FMS units with WAAS/LPV capability, TCAS II, EGPWS and an RT-300 weather radar, which together enable accurate flight management, navigation and terrain/traffic awareness for business transport missions. With a maximum operating ceiling of 51,000 ft and long-range capability of 1,968 nm, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental point‑to‑point trips and typical light‑jet charter or owner‑operator missions flown from its Lubbock, Texas base. The combination of cabin configuration and avionics supports both short-notice executive travel and sustained cruise operations at 436 kts.
The Learjet 45XR represents the high-performance light‑jet niche with twin Honeywell TFE731 engines delivering 3,500 lbf each and a high service ceiling, matching buyer demand for speed and altitude capability in eight‑seat executive transports. Competing models typically emphasize similar speed/range tradeoffs and avionics suites; the installed Honeywell Primus 1000 and dual UNS‑1Ew FMS with WAAS/LPV contribute to continued utility in modern airspace. The supplied valuation of $3,400,000 and mature airframe age suggest typical market considerations for maintenance program enrollment, avionics currency and calendar-driven inspections when assessing resale or charter deployment.
