N450TJ

This article profiles airframe N450TJ, a 1998-built Learjet 45 with manufacturer's serial number 45-012. The aircraft is owned by JACO OIL CO, a corporation based in Bakersfield, CA, US, and is registered in the United States. Registry records show the airframe configured with 12 seats and typical executive interior options; its market valuation is listed at $1,500,000. Operator activity and notable registry actions are limited to the current corporate ownership and US registration.

The registry for this specific airframe lists 12 seats while noting that the typical executive fit for the model is 2-crew plus 6–8 passenger executive layout, featuring a flat floor, forward refreshment/station, and belted lavatory options. Factory or common retrofit avionics for this airframe are indicated as the Honeywell Primus 1000. With two Honeywell TFE731-20 turbofan engines and a cruise speed of 445 kts, the aircraft is suited to medium-range corporate missions within its 1,700 nm range and high-altitude cruise up to 51,000 ft. Based at the owner's home location in Bakersfield, CA, operations would be consistent with corporate travel profiles; maintenance considerations align with typical twin-engine executive turbofan requirements for an airframe of this vintage.

This specific Learjet 45 airframe occupies the late-1990s light-to-midsize executive jet segment, combining transcontinental-ish range and high cruise/ceiling capability as reflected in its 1,700 nm range and 51,000 ft ceiling. The listed valuation of $1,500,000 for a 1998 serial 45-012 highlights typical resale and market positioning factors for older executive turbofan airframes, where avionics fit (Honeywell Primus 1000) and interior configuration (2-crew + executive seating) influence buyer and operator interest, maintenance planning, and overall operational economics.
