N526CF

This article describes the specific airframe bearing tail number N526CF, a Learjet 45 built by Learjet Inc. in 2000 with serial number 45-124. The aircraft is owned by WOLFF 45 LLC, a corporate owner based in Ketchum, ID, US, which operates the airframe from that locality as its home base. The airframe entered the current corporate registry under WOLFF 45 LLC and remains in that ownership according to available records. No notable incident or registry actions beyond standard ownership recording have been published; the listed market valuation for this individual aircraft is $2,158,245, reflecting its model year and equipment fit.

This Learjet 45 is fitted with an executive flat-floor cabin configured for 8–9 passengers with a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory, typically arranged in an executive club seating layout and capable of accommodating nine seats in standard certification. The avionics suite consists of a Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS with UNS-1Ew FMS (WAAS/LPV) and includes Primus radar and Primus II comm/navigation equipment as fitted, supporting precision approaches and modern flight management for business missions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short to mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter hops within the continental US, leveraging a cruise speed of 436 kts and a maximum operating altitude of 51,000 ft to achieve time-sensitive point-to-point travel. Maintenance considerations align with the Learjet 45 fleet norm, with attention to TFE731 engine program requirements and avionics update cycles for WAAS/LPV capability.

The Learjet 45 family occupies a light-medium business jet niche emphasizing high-speed cruise, high-altitude capability, and efficient short-to-midrange performance, exemplified by this example’s 1,968 nm range and 436 kts cruise. Competing models include light-to-midsize jets from Bombardier and Cessna families; buyers and charter operators value the Learjet 45 for speed and climb performance to FL510. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect age-related inspections, engine program status for the Honeywell TFE731-20AR, and avionics currency; its recorded value of $2,158,245 positions it competitively among well-equipped, early-2000s Learjet 45 units.
