N452LJ

This airframe, registered as N452LJ, is a 1995-built Learjet 45 with manufacturer serial number 45-002. The jet was built by Learjet Inc. and is recorded as owned by LEARJET INC, a corporate owner based in Wichita, KS, US; registry entries specifically note a seat entry of 12 for this registration. The airframe retains the Learjet 45’s standard twin‑engine layout and executive‑oriented interior configuration and carries a reported market valuation of $1,500,000. Registration and ownership records indicate continued corporate ownership in Wichita, Kansas, with no public record here of subsequent civilian operators.

The cabin of N452LJ reflects the Learjet 45 family’s typical executive flat-floor layout and is frequently fitted as six to eight executive seats, though the registry for this airframe records a 12‑seat entry consistent with corporate or high‑density configurations. Avionics on 45-series examples commonly include a Honeywell Primus‑style EFIS, and this airframe is noted with that family of systems (Primus 1000 family commonly fitted) which supports the jet’s high‑altitude, high‑speed mission profile. Typical missions for this airframe type include short‑to‑mid‑range executive transport, corporate shuttles and air taxi work on routes up to its 1,700 nm range and at cruise speeds near 445 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Wichita, KS, US. Maintenance considerations mirror those of similar early‑mid 1990s TFE731‑powered Learjet 45s, where aging‑fleet component cycles and avionics retrofits are common.

The Learjet 45 occupies the light business jet niche for operators seeking high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft ceiling in a compact airframe. It competes with contemporaries offering similar range and speed but may be disadvantaged in resale by older avionics and higher airframe hours unless updated; however, typical upgrades (Primus‑family EFIS retrofits) are widespread. A valuation of $1,500,000 for this specific 1995 serial 45-002 reflects market demand for mission‑capable light jets with maintained engines and avionics, and potential buyers often weigh upcoming maintenance events, interior reconfiguration costs, and avionics modernization when assessing fleet additions or charter use.
