N352PJ

This entry covers airframe N352PJ, a Gates Learjet 35A registered as a military-derived C-21A. Built in 1984 with serial number 35-530, the airframe is listed in corporate ownership as PREMIER JETS INC, based in Hillsboro, Oregon. The aircraft carries US registration and is valued at $960,000 in current listings. Notable registry points include its conversion/identification as a C-21A medevac-capable configuration and its continued civilian operation under a corporate owner after a design lineage tied to military utility.

The cabin for this specific airframe is configured as C-21A / Medevac-capable (military-derived 8–10 passenger / stretcher-capable layout), enabling both passenger transport and stretcher operations without extensive reconfiguration. Typical missions for this aircraft under corporate operation include on-demand charter, light corporate transport, and medevac or aeromedical missions where a compact, high-speed airframe is advantageous. Based in Hillsboro, OR, operator maintenance considerations reflect the TFE731 engine series’ support network and the airframe’s age, with lifecycle and avionics upgrades commonly prioritized during inspections to maintain ferry range and altitude performance. The aircraft’s multi-purpose cabin and high cruise speed suit regional runs and urgent medical transfers.

The Gates Learjet 35A occupies a performance niche as a light, twin-engine business/light transport jet with high cruise speed and long-range capabilities for its class. Competing models in secondary markets include similarly sized light jets offering eight to ten seats and medevac adaptability. Demand from buyers and charter operators often hinges on airframe condition, engine hours for the Garrett/Honeywell TFE731 series, and the value proposition reflected in the $960,000 asking price. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on inspection status, avionics modernization, and the continued availability of parts following the lineage from Gates Learjet (now Bombardier).
