Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N453AM, is a 1982 production Learjet 35A with manufacturer's serial number 453 built by GATES LEARJET CORP. The aircraft is owned by N543AM LLC, an LLC based in Englewood, CO, US, and is registered in the United States. Registration and ownership have been recorded under the LLC based in Englewood, indicating corporate operation or asset-holding rather than an individual owner. The airframe is valued at $960,000, reflecting its age, configuration and continuing utility in short‑to‑medium range executive and charter roles.
The subject airframe is configured with 8 passenger seats consistent with typical Learjet 35A interiors optimized for small group executive transport or light air ambulance/charter missions. Cabin layout is compact and oriented toward short‑to‑medium sector efficiency given the listed 1,990 nm range and high cruise speed of 436 kts. Operated from the owner's base in Englewood, CO, US, missions for this aircraft commonly include regional interstate business trips and point‑to‑point charter flights where speed and runway performance are priorities. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on lifecycle management of the twin Honeywell TFE731 engines and avionics/airframe upgrades appropriate to a 1982 build; any significant modifications or avionics fits are not published in the supplied data.
The Learjet 35A occupies a long-standing performance niche among light business jets, offering high cruise speed, a 45,000 ft service ceiling and efficient twin‑engine operation for short to transcontinental missions within its 1,990 nm range. Competing models in its era and secondary market include other light jets with similar speed and payload characteristics; buyer and charter demand for this model typically focuses on operators seeking high cruise performance and proven operational history. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 1982 manufacture date, the economics of engine overhaul cycles for the Honeywell TFE731-2 series, and the listed market value of $960,000.
