Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N247CS, is a Rockwell Sabreliner 65 with manufacturer's serial number 465-27. The airframe was manufactured by Rockwell International Corporation and is recorded as owned by TEAM AERO LLC, a corporate owner based in Shawnee, KS, US. The current operator/home base is reflected by that corporate registration and location; registration and ownership are held by TEAM AERO LLC in Shawnee, Kansas. Valuation records list the aircraft at $595,000, a figure that highlights its market position within older mid-size executive jets.
The airframe conforms to the model-level typical mid-size executive configuration with a cabin capable of a 6–10 passenger executive layout while the aircraft is certified for 12 seats; typical fit includes a mid-cabin galley and an aft lavatory. For this specific Sabreliner, typical mission profiles would be medium- to long-range executive transport up to 2,480 nm at cruise speeds around 441 kts, operating from the corporate base in Shawnee, KS. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its twin Honeywell TFE731-series powerplants and the Sabreliner airframe lineage, with attention to older-generation systems and lifecycle items consistent with an aircraft offered at the recorded value. Avionics fit is not published for this specific registration.
The Rockwell Sabreliner 65 occupies a performance niche as a mid-size, transcontinental-capable executive twin with a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft and strong cruise speed for its era. Competing alternatives in the used market would typically be other late-20th-century mid-size business jets; demand is generally driven by buyers seeking vintage performance at lower acquisition cost, reflected by the $595,000 valuation. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine-support availability for the TFE731 family and airframe-specific inspections tied to the Sabreliner lineage, impacting total cost of ownership for corporate operators like TEAM AERO LLC.
