N479FA

This write-up documents the specific Learjet 45 airframe bearing tail number N479FA, a factory-built example from Learjet Inc completed in 2000 with serial number 096. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by RA FLIES LLC, an LLC based in Owasso, OK, US; this ownership status is noted as the primary recorded registry action. The jet's manufacturer identity, build year and serial consolidate its production placement near the turn of the century within the Learjet 45 production run. No public record of further notable transactions, leases or preservation actions is provided for this specific aircraft.

The airframe's interior is configured as a flat-floor executive cabin with a typical two-crew arrangement and an executive layout accommodating 8–12 passengers, consistent with Learjet 45 standards; in this instance the published seat count is 12. Typical avionics fit for this model is the Honeywell Primus 1000, which supports the aircraft’s business-jet mission profile of short- to medium-haul executive transport at high cruise speeds and altitudes. Operating from its owner’s base in Owasso, OK, the aircraft would commonly be utilized on fast point-to-point executive charters or corporate transport missions, leveraging its high single-flight ceiling and near-2,000 nm range. Maintenance considerations follow Learjet 45 norms for twin Honeywell TFE731 series turbofans and flat-floor cabin systems; no unique maintenance history for this airframe is provided.

The Learjet 45 occupies a performance niche as a light-to-midsize business jet offering high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling, competing historically with early-model offerings from the Cessna Citation family and Bombardier Learjet derivatives. Demand among owner-operators and charter operators favors the type for regional executive missions where speed and runway performance are priorities. For prospective buyers or operators of this particular airframe, common market considerations include engine life remaining on the TFE731-20AR modules, avionics commonality around the Honeywell Primus 1000, and the effect of factory age (built 2000, S/N 096) on component life-cycle and resale positioning.
