N266AJ

This entry describes the specific airframe registered as N266AJ, a Learjet 45 built by Learjet Inc. in 2004 with serial number 239. The aircraft is owned by MOORE INVESTMENT FUND LLC (LLC based in Belmont, OH, US) and operates on the US registry; FAA records note a seating registration that differs from typical factory executive layouts. Valuation data lists the airframe at $2,500,000, reflecting its age, equipment baseline, and typical market placement for early-2000s light business jets. No public record of major ownership transfers or incidents is provided beyond the present LLC ownership and the FAA seating registration note.

The cabin for this airframe is typically an 8-place executive double-club configuration, but FAA registration for N266AJ shows 12 seats, reflecting the common variability in Learjet 45 interior fits where certified layouts range between 8–12 passengers. Avionics are reported as the Honeywell Primus 1000 in typical installations, with options to upgrade to modern suites depending on owner preference and refurbishment history. Mission profiles for this airframe commonly include short- to mid-range business and charter flights within continental North America, leveraging the jet’s high cruise speed and near-2,000 nm range for point-to-point operations. Maintenance considerations for this specific jet would follow Learjet 45 schedules and Honeywell TFE731 engine support programs, with resale condition influenced by avionics and interior update levels.

The Learjet 45 occupies the light business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft service ceiling that appeal to time-sensitive operators and charter customers. Competing models in this segment include other late-model light jets from Bombardier and Cessna families; buyer demand typically targets well-equipped, lower-time examples with upgraded avionics. For N266AJ, marketability and maintenance costs will hinge on the extent of avionics modernization from the Honeywell Primus 1000, interior configuration (8–12 seats), and documented engine and airframe hours relative to the listed $2,500,000 valuation.
