Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N335RC, is a 1979-built Gates Learjet 35A with serial number 256. It is recorded as owned by N335 AVIATION CORP (a corporation) based in Middletown, DE, US, and carries U.S. registration. Photographic evidence shows the cabin fitted in a medical/air-ambulance layout with AeroCare/MedEvac markings observed, indicating operation in medical transport roles. Valuation records place the airframe at $960,000, reflecting its age, specialized interior, and continuing utility as a fixed-wing multi-engine business/air-ambulance asset.
The specific cabin of this airframe is configured for medical/air-ambulance missions, with AeroCare/MedEvac markings observed in photos, implying outfitting for patient transport, attendant stations, and mission equipment rather than a standard corporate interior. Based from the owner’s location in Middletown, DE, US, typical operations for this configuration would include regional and extended-range medical evacuations and interfacility transfers within the continental U.S., leveraging the Learjet 35A’s speed and range. Maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 1979 build year and specialized interior systems; air-ambulance equipment and secure medical fittings add inspection and certification items beyond standard avionics and airframe checks.
The Gates Learjet 35A family occupies a niche for light business jets with high cruise speed and long legs relative to size, and this airframe’s 418 kt cruise and 2,857 nm range underline that capability. Competing types in the used market include older light jets adapted to medevac roles; buyer demand for configured air-ambulances is steady but price-sensitive, with resale influenced by interior condition, avionics upgrades, and engine times. For this specific airframe, the combination of a medical interior and a valuation near $960,000 will weigh on maintenance, refurbishment needs, and immediate utility to operators seeking a ready medevac platform.
