Model & Market Context
This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N265WS, a Rockwell-built Sabreliner delivered in 1981 with serial number 465-62. The airframe is owned by Portside Aero LLC, an LLC based in Edgewater, NJ, US, which serves as the operator/home base for routine operations. No publicly recorded registry actions beyond the current registration were provided; notable historical transfers are not published. The listed market valuation for this aircraft is $595,000, reflecting its vintage, configuration, and continuing operability in executive transport roles.
The airframe is fitted with a 12-place executive layout (operator-configurable) cabin that permits Portside Aero LLC to adapt the interior for corporate transport or other executive missions within the 12-seat envelope. Specific avionics fitment data are not provided; typical Sabreliner NA-265 installations would support mixed corporate operations including short- to medium-range transcontinental flights up to the aircraft’s 2,460 nm range at cruise speeds near 436 kts. Based out of Edgewater, New Jersey, this example is suited to frequent business shuttle work along the U.S. eastern seaboard and to key mid-range destinations, with the Garrett TFE731 engines offering efficient performance for the platform and manageable maintenance pathways consistent with the type.
The airframe is a member of the Rockwell NA-265 Sabreliner 65 family, a fixed-wing, multi-engine business jet class produced by Rockwell International Corp. in the late 20th century that occupies a performance niche between light and midsize business jets. With a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and twin Garrett TFE731 powerplants delivering about 3,500 lbf each, the type competes historically with early models from manufacturers offering corporate light-to-midsize jets. Buyer and charter demand for specific Sabreliner examples depends heavily on condition, systems modernisation, and maintenance history; at an indicated market value of $595,000, resale considerations will hinge on remaining overhaul life of engines and avionics upgrades.
