Model & Market Context
This article covers the specific airframe bearing registration N438RV, a 2007-built Learjet 45 with serial number 333. The airframe is owned by AERO JET AVIATION I INC, a corporation based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, which is listed as the operator/home base on the US registry. Registry records for this aircraft note an executive configuration listed up to a 12-seat layout and a valuation recorded at $2,500,000, reflecting its market position among mid-life light business jets. No alternate operators or additional ownership transfers are recorded in the provided data.
The cabin for this specific airframe is described as a typical 8-place executive double-club layout, while registry entries allow for a maximum configuration of up to 12 seats, indicating flexibility between executive and higher-density passenger missions. Avionics are listed as the Honeywell Primus 1000, a common fit on the Learjet 45 that supports typical corporate flight operations and charter schedules. With an operator based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, the aircraft is well positioned for transcontinental and regional missions within its 1,971 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 436 kts. Maintenance considerations implicit to this serial and year include mid-life component checks and engine support for the Honeywell TFE731 family, which factor into operational availability and residual value.
The Learjet 45 family occupies the light, high-performance business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a high service ceiling of 51,000 ft and fast cruise speeds. Competing models in its class typically target buyers seeking balance of speed, short-field performance, and cabin flexibility; the availability of an executive 8-place double-club or up to 12 seats on the registry reflects this versatility. Mid-2000s airframes such as serial 333 face typical resale and maintenance considerations including avionics commonality, engine life-cycle costs for the TFE731-20AR, and market valuation around the listed $2,500,000.
