N429BS

This airframe, registered as N429BS, is a 1998-built Learjet 45 with manufacturer's serial number 015. The jet is recorded as owned by KARL KLEMENT AVIATION INC, a corporation based in Decatur, TX, US, and is held on the US civil aircraft registry. Built by Learjet Inc., the aircraft’s recorded market valuation is $1,795,000, reflecting its late-1990s vintage and configuration. There are no additional registry transfers or notable public incidents published in the supplied data; the listing focuses on current ownership, configuration and condition indicators implied by avionics and cabin fit.

The subject airframe retains a flat-floor executive cabin typically arranged for 8–9 passengers with club seating, a forward cabin and an aft lavatory, consistent with the Learjet 45’s executive transport role. Avionics are described as Honeywell Primus-series, typically the Honeywell Primus 1000, providing an integrated flight deck suitable for high-speed, high-altitude IFR operations. Operated from a corporate base in Decatur, Texas, the aircraft’s performance—especially its cruise speed and ceiling—supports regional to transcontinental point-to-point missions and on-demand charter or corporate transport. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would align with mid-life airframe and TFE731-series engine care, with value and dispatch reliability influenced by compliance with service bulletins and avionics upgrades.

The Learjet 45 family occupies a light to midsize business-jet niche emphasizing high cruise speed and high-altitude performance, as reflected by this airframe’s 436 kts cruise and 51,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in missions and market position typically include other light-to-midsize business jets offering similar range and passenger capacity. Resale and operational economics for a 1998 Learjet 45 are driven by engine time on the TFE731-20 series, avionics standardization such as the Primus 1000 fit, and overall cabin refurbishment—factors consistent with the recorded $1,795,000 valuation.
