N47MF

The airframe bearing tail number N47MF is a 1982-built Learjet 35A, constructor serial 35-495, manufactured by Gates Learjet Corp.. The aircraft is owned and operated by MED FLIGHT AIR AMBULANCE INC (a corporation based in Albuquerque, NM, US), with the U.S. registration reflecting its domestic operation and medevac role. The registry lists a 10-seat configuration, and the airframe has an assessed market value of $960,000, indicating a mature asset in the light business/air ambulance segment. Maintenance and operational history are aligned with continued commercial EMS use out of the operator’s Albuquerque base.

This specific Learjet 35A is listed with an operator-configured cabin and a registry showing 10 seats; typical fits for the model include 6–8 executive seating or medevac interiors and this airframe’s ownership indicates a medevac mission emphasis. The cabin commonly incorporates an enclosed aft lavatory when configured for passenger comfort or patient privacy, and medevac layouts often include mission-specific mounts and oxygen systems tailored to EMS operations. Based at Albuquerque, NM, the aircraft’s range of 1,990 nm and cruise speed of 436 kts support regional to transcontinental medical missions and rapid patient transfers. Ongoing maintenance for an air ambulance-configured Learjet emphasizes avionics reliability, environmental control, and mission equipment certification.

The Learjet 35A family occupies a performance niche as a light, fast business/recon/EMS jet with high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, enabling efficient point-to-point operations and access to high-altitude flight levels. Typical competitors include other light jets adapted to medevac duty; purchase demand for older airframes like this one is often driven by EMS operators and fractional or charter providers seeking lower acquisition cost. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1982-built airframe with serial 35-495 include airframe hours, engine program status for Garrett TFE731-2-2B engines, and mission equipment transferability, all factors that bear on the noted $960,000 valuation.
