N355KC

This article describes the specific airframe carrying tail number N355KC, a Learjet 35A manufactured in 1982 with serial number 35-490. The airframe is recorded as owned by N331US LLC, a corporation based in Hillsboro, OR, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe’s listed market valuation is $960,000, reflecting its age and configuration; available records note standard registry entries consistent with corporate ownership and operation from its operator base in Hillsboro. Condition summaries reflect typical refurbishment variability in cabin fit and avionics for a 1982 Learjet 35A airframe.

The airframe is typically fitted with a six–eight place executive layout (club seating with a belted lavatory), though the specific fit aboard N355KC varies by refurbishment and interior refurb history. Typical missions for this airframe profile include short- to medium-range corporate transport, air taxi, and light charter operations within the continental United States; the combination of its cruise speed of 436 kts and range of 1,990 nm supports transcontinental point-to-point routing with limited stops. Operated from Hillsboro, Oregon under corporate ownership, maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on TFE731-series engine support programs and airframe corrosion control given its 1982 manufacture year. Avionics fit is not published for this specific tail, and may vary based on individual upgrades undertaken by the owner.

The Learjet 35A family occupies a light jet niche emphasizing high cruise speed, low drag, and high-altitude capability (service ceiling 45,000 ft). Its direct competitors historically include other light jets offering similar mission flexibility, while buyer demand is typically split between owner-operators and fractional or charter operators seeking speed and climb performance. Maintenance and resale considerations for this particular airframe center on age-related refurbishment, engine program enrollment for the Honeywell TFE731-2, and market appetite for well-maintained, upgraded interiors and avionics given a listed value of $960,000.
