N420KV

This entry covers airframe N420KV, a Learjet 60 built in 2000 with manufacturer's serial number 60-197. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by Tropicana Building II LLC, an LLC based in El Paso, TX, US, which appears as the most recent recorded owner in public listings. The airframe retains its original factory designation from Learjet Inc. and has been equipped and marketed in recent listings with an executive interior and ProLine avionics; no separate operator or significant registry actions beyond its current U.S. registration are published. Condition notes from recent broker material emphasize its executive cabin fit and operational equipment rather than any damage history or valuation specifics.

The cabin of N420KV is described in recent broker listing material as a 7–8 passenger executive layout featuring a 4-place double club, a divan, and a belted lav seat, supporting up to 11 certificated seats for various crew/passenger configurations. Avionics are a Collins ProLine fit with a Collins 4-tube EDS (ProLine avionics) suite, suitable for a range of domestic and transborder missions. With a maximum cruise near 436 kts and a range of 2,418 nm, typical missions for this airframe would include medium‑haul executive transport, point‑to‑point corporate travel, and on-demand charter flights originating from its owner’s base in El Paso, TX. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft center on the PW305A engines and ProLine avionics common to the type.

The Learjet 60 occupies a mid‑size light/medium business jet niche, known for high cruise speeds and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, competing with later light midsize types in range and cabin amenities. Powered by twin PW305A engines delivering 4,679 lbf thrust each, the model is sought by buyers and charter operators prioritizing speed and runway performance. Market and resale considerations for this airframe hinge on the condition of the executive interior, total time on the PW305A engines, and the avionics fit; a Collins ProLine-equipped airframe like N420KV typically garners steady interest from operators seeking proven systems and transcontinental capability.
