N51GJ

This airframe, registered as N51GJ, is a Gates Learjet-built Learjet 36A completed in 1976 with serial number 36-018. The airframe is owned by GLOBAL JETCARE INC, a corporation based in Brooksville, FL, US, and is entered on the U.S. register. The record for this jet reflects its long-service vintage as a 1970s long-range Learjet derivative; ownership is currently held by GLOBAL JETCARE INC and home-based operations are recorded out of Brooksville, Florida. Valuation and condition summaries for this specific registration are Not published.

The installed cabin reflects a typical long-range Learjet 36A executive conversion layout, normally arranged for 4–6 passengers with a forward refreshment center and a small forward lavatory; actual layouts may vary by operator. As operated by its current owner in Brooksville, the airframe is suited to regional to transcontinental point-to-point missions enabled by a 2,857 nm range and a high-speed cruise near 418 kts, commonly flown at cruise ceilings up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe follow the Garrett TFE731 turbofan support and aging-airframe programs typical of 1970s production Learjets; unique amenities and specific avionics fit are operator-dependent and not published for this registration.

The Learjet 36A occupies a niche for owners seeking a high-speed, long-range light business jet derived from the Learjet family, balancing compact cabin dimensions with extended mission capability. Powered by a pair of Garrett TFE731 engines developing 3,500 lbf each, the model competes historically with other light long-range business jets that prioritize speed and altitude capability over cabin volume. Market and resale considerations for an airframe like N51GJ typically emphasize maintenance status, avionics fit, and provenance given its 1976 manufacture date, with buyer and charter demand influenced by costs of support and interior modernization.
