N357K

This entry covers airframe N357K, a 2017-built Learjet 75 with manufacturer serial number 45-552. The airframe is owned by Kiewit Engineering Group Inc. and is operated under contract by Midwest Aviation, with the corporate owner based in Omaha, NE, US and U.S. registration. Registry records indicate operation as a corporate executive transport; appraisal data lists an estimated market value of $13,500,000. The aircraft is maintained and used in the fixed-wing multi-engine corporate category with routine registry and operational activity under U.S. markings.

The interior of N357K is arranged in a typical eight-passenger executive layout featuring divan and club seating, a forward galley, and an enclosed aft lavatory, configured for short- to mid-range corporate missions. Avionics are fitted with the Garmin G5000 integrated flightdeck, supporting modern avionics capabilities and advanced flight management for complex airspace operations. Operated by Midwest Aviation on behalf of its owner, the aircraft is routinely deployed on regional and continental business routes consistent with the Learjet 75’s performance envelope. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe align with corporate operators’ focus on avionics lifecycle management and the Honeywell TFE731-40BR engines’ scheduled inspections and trend monitoring.

The Learjet 75 occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and transcontinental range suitable for eight passengers. Competing models in its segment include other modern light-cabin jets offering similar speed and range; buyer and charter demand typically emphasizes speed, runway performance, and avionics capability — criteria met here by the Garmin G5000 fit. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2017 build year, relatively recent avionics standardization, and ongoing engine support for the Honeywell TFE731 family, factors that underpin the stated valuation.
