N451BD

This entry describes airframe N451BD, a 2006-built Learjet 60XR with manufacturer's serial number 297, manufactured by LEARJET INC. The aircraft is recorded as owned by DELUCA AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Camden, DE, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. FAA record details list the airframe's configuration and seating count, and market information attached to the registry shows a valuation of $3,600,000, reflecting its age, systems fit and typical market considerations for late-model 60XR examples.

Airframe N451BD is configured with a two-crew flight deck and an executive cabin offering multiple floorplans; typical 60XR layouts feature six to eight cabin seats, though FAA records for this specific aircraft list 11 seats. The typical avionics fit for the model is the Collins Pro Line 21, which supports integrated flight management, navigation and communications capabilities suited to high-speed light business-jet operations. Operated from a home base in Camden, DE, the aircraft's 2,451 nm range and 453 kt cruise speed align it to domestic and short-to-medium international executive missions, air taxi or corporate transport. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe reflect the twin PW305A engines' overhaul cycles and the certified service network for the Learjet family.

As a late-production member of the Learjet 60XR family, N451BD occupies the light to midsize business jet performance niche, offering a high-altitude ceiling of 51,000 ft and strong cruise speed for short-to-medium sectors. Competing models occupy similar mission profiles and include other mid‑size light-cabin business jets; buyer and charter demand for airframes of this vintage depends on avionics, maintenance history and interior condition. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2006 serial 297 example center on engine status, avionics (typified by the Collins Pro Line 21 fit), and the completeness of logbooks and inspections.
