N45LV

The airframe bearing tail number N45LV is a 2007 production Learjet 45XR built by Bombardier Aerospace (Learjet) with serial number 45-322. It is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporate entity HAMMERFLY LLC, based in Glendale, Colorado, US. The airframe reflects a mid-2000s Learjet 45XR build and carries a reported market value of $3,400,000, indicating a mature but serviceable business jet example for owner-operators or fractional use. Registry and ownership are corporate in nature with no public record of multiple operator transitions beyond the listed corporate holder.

The aircraft is typically outfitted with an 8-place executive double-club cabin layout, consistent with many Learjet 45XR interiors optimized for small-group business missions and short-haul transcontinental hops. Avionics on many 45XR examples, and indicated as typical for this airframe class, consist of Honeywell Primus‑class systems (commonly Primus 1000/Primus IFCS fits), supporting modern flight management and reduced pilot workload for high-altitude, high-speed cruise. Given its 1,685 nm range and 425 kts cruise, routine missions for this airframe profile include regional executive transport, point-to-point charter runs, and time-sensitive corporate repositioning from its Glendale, CO base. Maintenance considerations align with late-model Learjet 45XR practice—Honeywell TFE731 engine support and Primus avionics lifecycle planning are primary items for continued operational readiness.

The Learjet 45XR occupies the light-to-mid-size business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and a high service ceiling (51,000 ft) relative to cabin size. Competing models in this performance bracket include light business jets from competing manufacturers that balance short-field performance with speed; buyer demand typically targets owner-operators and small charter fleets seeking fast regional capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize engine TBO management for the TFE731-20BR pair, avionics upgrade potential from typical Primus installations, and the impact of corporate ownership structure on transferability and valuation.
