N46MF

This entry covers the individual airframe bearing registration N46MF, a business jet built in 1981 as a Learjet 35A, serial number 35A-377. The airframe is owned and operated by Med Flight Air Ambulance Inc, a corporate operator based in Albuquerque, NM, US, and is maintained in a medically configured role. The aircraft is registered in the US and continues to serve in an air ambulance capacity with mission equipment and interior arrangements tailored to medical transport. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published for this specific airframe in the provided data.

The airframe is fitted as a medically configured Mobile Intensive Care Unit with stretcher capability and seating flexible for medical crew and any additional passengers required, reflecting its dedicated air ambulance role. Typical mission profiles for this airframe emphasize medium-range rapid patient transfers and organ transport over distances up to its maximum ferry/range capability, operating from its home base in Albuquerque, NM under corporate ownership by Med Flight Air Ambulance Inc. Avionics fit and specific maintenance status are not published in the supplied data; however, operations in medical configurations generally require specialized mounts, oxygen systems, power supplies for medical equipment, and routine maintenance programs that align with both civil airworthiness directives and additional operator-specific inspection intervals. The Learjet’s high-altitude capability and cruise speed support time-sensitive aeromedical missions, while maintenance considerations for this airframe would include the established support network for the TFE731 series engines and airframe inspections consistent with its 1981 build year.

The Learjet 35A family occupies a long-standing niche for light, high-speed, high-altitude business and special-mission operations, prized by air ambulance operators for performance and compact cabin adaptability. Competitors in the same mission envelope include similarly sized light jets with twin turbofan propulsion offering comparable speeds and ranges. Buyer and operator considerations for airframes of this vintage typically focus on engine time, corrosion and fatigue inspections, avionics modernization, and the resale market for medically outfitted jets, where interior removability and certification affect residual value and redeployment options.
