N264CK

This airframe, registered as N264CK, is a 1979-built Learjet 35A with serial number 35A-264, manufactured by Gates Learjet Corp. The airframe is listed as owned by KALITTA CHARTERS LLC, an LLC based in Ypsilanti, MI, US, and carries a US registration. The fleet record for this specific jet shows a standard executive configuration and an assessed market value of $877,866. Ownership by KALITTA CHARTERS LLC situates the airplane within a charter/operator environment rather than private owner operation, which has influenced its utilization and maintenance history.

The aircraft is typically fitted in an 8–10 place executive layout with common club and divan seating options, reflecting the Learjet 35A’s role in short to mid-range business and charter mission profiles. Operated from an owner/operator base in Ypsilanti, Michigan, this airframe’s configuration supports point-to-point charter runs, business travel, and light cargo or medevac flexibility when reconfigured. Avionics and interior specifics are not published here, but the Learjet 35A family is commonly equipped with corporate-standard flight decks and communications suites suitable for regional high-speed missions. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with older-generation Learjet service practices, where engine program enrollment and structural/avionics upgrades can materially affect dispatch reliability and residual value.

The Learjet 35A occupies a long-standing light business jet niche characterized by high cruise speed, transcontinental-but-not-intercontinental range, and high-altitude capability, exemplified by the 45,000 ft service ceiling and 418 kts cruise of this airframe. Competing models historically include other light jets offering similar speed/range balances; buyer and charter demand tends to favor well-maintained, lower-time examples with documented maintenance and avionics upgrades. For resale or continued charter use, the assessed value of $877,866 reflects both the airframe’s age (1979 build) and the market’s emphasis on condition, engine program status, and interior refurbishment.
