Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N51FN is a 1976-built Gates Learjet 35A, serial number 35-069, manufactured by Gates Learjet (now Bombardier Learjet). It is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation GH EQUIPMENT LLC, based in Dover, DE, US; the registration lists a 10-seat configuration. The airframe’s operational history centers on corporate and special-mission roles under ownership by GH EQUIPMENT LLC, with registry records reflecting its executive/special-mission seating complement. Valuation and specific condition reports are not published for this airframe.
The cabin of N51FN is configured in a 10-seat executive/special-mission layout as shown on the aircraft registration, supporting short to mid-range corporate travel and special-mission profiles within its listed range of 1,930 nm. Typical operations for this airframe employ its high cruise speed of 436 kts and service ceiling of 45,000 ft to conduct rapid point-to-point missions from its operator base in Dover, DE, US. The installation of two Honeywell TFE731-2 turbofan engines, each rated at 3,500 lbf, aligns maintenance and overhaul planning with commonly referenced TFE731-2 family practices; these engines are a key consideration for operational availability and lifecycle costs on this airframe. Specific avionics fit and interior amenity details are not published beyond the 10-seat designation.
As a member of the Learjet 35A family, Gates Learjet (now Bombardier Learjet) produced this model to occupy a high-speed, short-to-medium-range business jet niche with trans-regional capability. The combination of a 436 kts cruise and a 45,000 ft ceiling provides performance attractive to operators requiring fast climb and cruise profiles within roughly 1,930 nm mission sets. Market factors for this specific airframe include engine maintenance status for the twin Honeywell TFE731-2 units and the 10-seat special-mission equipping, both of which influence resale prospects and operator demand; formal valuation data is not published.
