N45LR

This airframe, registered as N45LR, is a Learjet 45 built in 1998 with manufacturer serial number 45-013. The airframe was produced by Learjet Inc (Bombardier Aerospace) and is currently owned by N45LR LLC, a corporation based in Anchorage, AK, US; its registration is in the US. The unit is representative of late-production Learjet 45s and has the midsize flat-floor cabin configuration common to factory deliveries of the period. Ownership is held by a single corporate entity in Anchorage, and the record indicates standard corporate private/operator custodianship rather than airline or fractional ownership.

The cabin on this airframe is a factory-style 8–9-place executive layout (flat-floor midsize cabin) typically arranged for executive transport and short to medium international hops. Avionics fit on the aircraft follows the common factory/upgrade path with Honeywell Primus-series EFIS, providing a glass flightdeck consistent with late-1990s Learjet upgrade standards. Typical missions for this airframe would include corporate point-to-point flights within a roughly 1,700 nm radius at cruise speeds near 464 knots and altitudes up to 51,000 feet, operated from its Anchorage base for regional business and charter work. Maintenance and operations will follow Learjet/Textron-born sustainment practices with Honeywell TFE731 support networks; component access and inspections reflect the age and utilization of a 1998-built Learjet.

The Learjet 45 family occupies the midsize, high-performance light business jet niche with rapid climb, high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft service ceiling that emphasize time-sensitive corporate missions. Competitors in this segment include similarly sized light-to-midsize business jets offering transcontinental capability; market demand historically centers on owner-operators and charter companies seeking a high-speed midsize cabin. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial (45-013) align with the model’s established aftermarket: airframe age, avionics fit (Honeywell Primus-series EFIS), and engine TFE731-20 support status are principal determinants of value and employability in charter or corporate fleets.
