N260LF

The airframe bearing tail number N260LF is a Bombardier Learjet 31 built in 1990 with manufacturer serial 31-015. The jet is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporate entity SK AIR LLC, based in Lincoln, NE, US; the ownership appears as a corporate registration rather than an individual operator. This particular airframe is a late-production Learjet 31 example powered by twin Honeywell TFE731-series turbofans and carries an estimated market valuation of $986,000. The aircraft is listed in the fixed-wing multi-engine category and has a standard eight-passenger executive interior consistent with mid-cabin configurations.

The cabin of N260LF is outfitted in an 8-passenger mid-cabin executive layout featuring dark tan leather upholstery with a divan and club seating arrangement, optimized for short- to medium-range business travel. Avionics on this airframe include dual FIS-84 flight directors, dual EHSI-74 EFIS displays, a Universal UNS-1D FMS with GPS, Honeywell Primus 450 weather radar, JET FC-531 autopilot, and TCAS I (CAS-66A), supporting single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operations typical of Learjet 31 fleet utilization. Based at Lincoln, Nebraska through its corporate owner, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with interstate executive transport, on-demand charter, and owner-flown business trips, with operational considerations driven by its high-altitude ceiling and relatively high cruise speed for its class.

The Learjet 31 family occupies a high-performance light business jet niche characterized by fast cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft service ceiling, appealing to operators prioritizing time-sensitive point-to-point travel. Competing models historically include other light-cabin jets with similar speed-range tradeoffs; buyer and charter demand for early 1990s Learjet 31s is influenced by airframe age, capability, and avionics fit. Maintenance and resale considerations for N260LF hinge on engine TFE731 support, avionics legacy systems, and overall condition reflected in its sub-million-dollar valuation, factors that buyers weigh against upgrade and refurbishment costs.
