N45NM

This entry describes airframe N45NM, a 2004 build of the Learjet 45 carrying manufacturer serial number 45-253. The airframe is owned by TRIPLE CROWN ENERGY LLC, an LLC based in Tulsa, OK, US, and is registered in the US registry; the registry lists the aircraft with up to 12 seats. Built by Learjet Inc in 2004, this example has engines and avionics consistent with typical Learjet 45 fitments and carries an estimated market value of $3,200,000. No additional operational incidents or transfers are published in the supplied data.

The cabin for this specific Learjet 45 follows a typical executive layout with an 8–9 passenger club/sofa arrangement, while the registry records seating for up to 12, reflecting a variation between operational interior configuration and maximum certificated seating. Avionics aboard this airframe are in line with Honeywell Primus installations common to the model, with typical Primus 1000/Primus II fitments indicated. Operated from its owner’s base in Tulsa, OK, missions for this airframe would typically include regional corporate transport, short-notice business travel, and charter-style point-to-point routes within its approximately 1,968 nm range and high-speed cruise of 445 kts. Maintenance considerations follow Learjet 45 norms for twin Honeywell TFE731 powerplants and avionics commonality, supporting continued operational availability for corporate use.

The Learjet 45 occupies a light-to-midsize business jet niche characterized by relatively high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft service ceiling, competing against aircraft of similar capability from other manufacturers in the same class. Demand in the buyer and charter market favors airframes with updated avionics and well-documented maintenance; this example’s Honeywell Primus avionics commonality and twin TFE731-20 engines are traits that support parts availability and operator familiarity. Resale and maintenance economics for a 2004 Learjet 45 reflect typical aging-jet considerations—airframe hours, engine cycles, and interior refurbishment needs—against an estimated value of $3,200,000.
