N53HJ

This entry covers the specific Learjet 55 airframe bearing U.S. registration N53HJ, constructor year 1982 and serial number 55-037. The airframe is owned and operated by Ventura Air Services, an operator based in Farmingdale, NY, and is registered in the US. There are no public registry actions or notable incidents recorded in the supplied data; notable ownership is limited to the current operator. The assessed market valuation for this airframe is $800,000, reflecting its age and configuration.

The airframe is equipped with a typical Learjet 55 seven-place executive cabin layout, described here as a 7-place executive layout (typical Learjet 55 interior) for passenger accommodation and executive missions. Operated from Farmingdale, NY by Ventura Air Services, the aircraft is suited to regional to transcontinental point-to-point charters and corporate transport within its published range of 2,244 nm and cruise speed of 419 kts. Avionics fitment and specific onboard amenities are not published in the supplied data, but the Learjet 55 family commonly features a forward galley and executive seating; maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect the Garrett TFE731 engine family support and aging-aircraft inspections consistent with a 1982-built jet. Operator maintenance practices and any supplemental equipment fits were not detailed in the provided information.

The Learjet 55 occupies a mid-size, high-performance light business jet niche in its generation, combining a high cruise speed (here 419 kts) and a service ceiling up to 51,000 ft with a modest seven-seat executive cabin. Contemporary competitors historically included other light-to-midsize business jets with similar mission profiles; buyer and charter demand for early-1980s airframes typically emphasizes lifecycle maintenance records, avionics upgrades, and engine TBO status for Garrett TFE731 variants. Resale and operational considerations for this specific airframe center on its age (built 1982), serial 55-037, and the listed market valuation of $800,000, which buyers will weigh against retrofit and maintenance costs.
