Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N269JR, is a Learjet 35A built in 1979 with serial number 224. The aircraft is owned by ALOFT AVIATION SERVICES LLC and the owner is recorded as ALOFT AVIATION SERVICES LLC (an LLC based in Spartanburg, SC, US), with the registration carried in the US registry. Commercial listings have noted avionics retrofits and the airframe is commercially valued at $569,000, reflecting its late-1970s manufacture, operational history, and installed updates.
The cabin is configured in a 6-place executive club/divan layout typical of the Learjet 35A, providing seating for six in an executive arrangement optimized for short-to-medium business missions. Avionics retrofits are reported in commercial listings and include Garmin GTN 725 and GNS-530 installations, modernizing navigation and avionics capability relative to the original fit. Based in Spartanburg, SC, the aircraft's performance—cruise around 436 kts and a range of 1,930 nm—suits regional and transcontinental point-to-point charters, corporate transport, and expedited light cargo or organ transport profiles. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include the aging airframe and engine program oversight for the Honeywell TFE731-2 series and tracking of any supplemental type certificate installations tied to the reported avionics.
The Learjet 35A family occupies the light, high-speed business jet niche, prized for its speed, altitude capability to 45,000 ft, and efficient twin TFE731 powerplants. Competing models in the same mission class include contemporaneous light jets and small-cabin Citations; buyers typically value the Learjet for speed and climb performance versus newer, more spacious alternatives. For a 1979-built airframe like N269JR, resale and charter demand reflect a balance of installed avionics upgrades, documented maintenance, engine life status, and overall valuation, with the listed $569,000 price point implying a market positioning cognizant of age-related maintenance and parts considerations.
