N361PJ

The airframe bearing tail number N361PJ is a Gates Learjet 36 (serial 36-003) built in 1974 by Gates Lear Jet Corp. The jet is recorded as owned by the corporation PREMIER JETS INC, headquartered in Hillsboro, OR, United States, and carries U.S. registration. The airframe’s lineage is notable as an early serial of the Learjet 36 line and its corporate ownership ties it to a U.S.-based charter/operator; registered in the United States is the principal documented registry action for this airframe. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.

This particular Learjet 36 is configured with 10 passenger seats, aligning with typical light business jet interiors optimized for corporate or charter missions. With a published cruise speed of 436 knots and a range of 2,348 nautical miles, the airframe is suited to medium‑to‑long regional routes operated from its Hillsboro, OR base. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include high-speed business charters and point-to-point corporate transport where fast climb and cruise to a 45,000 ft ceiling are advantageous. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft center on its twin TFE731-2 turbofan engines, a common overhaul and support item for operators of older Learjet models.

The Gates Learjet 36 occupies the high‑speed, light business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and a relatively high service ceiling for its class, as reflected in this airframe’s 436 kt cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing demand typically comes from operators seeking fast regional performance with modest passenger capacity; resale and maintenance considerations are influenced by the airframe’s 1974 build year and the TFE731 family powerplants, which are familiar to maintenance facilities and parts networks. For buyers and charter operators, historical registration, documented serial (36-003), and corporate ownership by PREMIER JETS INC are relevant provenance factors in valuation and operational planning.
