N345FM

This article covers the specific airframe bearing registration N345FM, a 2001-built Learjet 45 with manufacturer serial number 45-151. The aircraft is owned by MODERN INDUSTRIAL SERVICES INC, a corporation based in Beaumont, Texas, US, and is registered in the United States. The airframe presents as an executive-configured Learjet 45 with an interior refurbishment completed in September 2014 and a market valuation recorded at $2,272,500. Registry and operational records indicate corporate ownership and operation from the owner’s Beaumont, TX location.

The cabin of this airframe is arranged in an eight-passenger executive club seating layout with an enclosed aft belted lavatory and a total seating capability for 12 including jump seats or crew positions. The interior was refurbished in September 2014, reflecting an updated executive finish consistent with corporate transport missions. Avionics are fitted with a Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, supporting typical medium-range business-jet navigation and communication profiles. Operated from its owner’s base in Beaumont, Texas, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with regional to transcontinental corporate transport, leveraging a cruise speed of 445 kts and a range of 1,968 nm for point-to-point business flights.

The Learjet 45 occupies a light business jet segment characterized by relatively high cruise speeds and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, positioning it for efficient short-to-mid-range corporate missions. Typical competitors in this performance niche include other light to midsize business jets offering similar range and cabin amenities; resale and maintenance considerations for a 2001 airframe emphasize engine and avionics lifecycle events, as well as interior refurbishment status. The presence of Honeywell TFE731-20 engines and a Primus 1000 avionics fit are factors that influence operational costs, maintenance scheduling, and market desirability for corporate buyers or charter operators.
