N45YF

The airframe bearing tail number N45YF is a 1998-built Learjet 45, serial 45-006, registered in the US. The aircraft is documented as owned by 645TW LLC (an LLC based in Midland, TX, US) and operates from that operator/home base region under US registration. There are no additional public registry actions listed for this specific airframe in the supplied data; its market valuation is recorded at $2,500,000, reflecting its late-1990s build and installed equipment. Notable in the airframe record is the continuing single-entity ownership model rather than an airline or corporate flight department transfer.

The cabin of this Learjet 45 follows a typical executive double-club layout accommodating approximately 8–12 passengers depending on interior configuration, featuring a flat-floor cabin and an enclosed lavatory with about 50 cu ft of external baggage capacity and roughly 15 cu ft internal baggage space. Avionics on this airframe are configured with a Honeywell Primus 1000 (4-tube EFIS) suite, supporting executive transport missions that prioritize speed and high-altitude cruise. Typical operations for this configuration would include medium-range corporate or charter missions from the owner/operator’s Midland, Texas base, exploiting the aircraft’s cruise speed and high service ceiling for fast point-to-point trips. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include age-related systems life-cycle checkpoints consistent with a 1998 build and the TFE731-20BR engine series maintenance programs.

The Learjet 45 occupies the light-medium business jet niche within Bombardier Aerospace’s Learjet lineage, offering high cruise speeds (here 464 kts) and high-altitude capability (to 51,000 ft) for short- to medium-range missions (around 1,971 nm). Competing models in the market segment include contemporaneous light-cabin jets with similar speed and range; buyer and charter demand often centers on speed, runway performance and cabin layout flexibility. For resale and maintenance, this airframe’s 1998 vintage, installed Honeywell avionics and TFE731 engines are key determinants of operating costs and market value, reflected in the recorded $2,500,000 valuation.
