N542LM

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N542LM, a business jet built in 1980 with manufacturer serial number 35A-280. The aircraft is a Learjet 35A originally produced by LEARJET INC and is owned by AERO AIR LLC, an LLC based in Hillsboro, OR, US, which serves as its operator/home base. The airframe has been noted in photographic records with ambulance markings, indicating at least temporary medevac configuration use, and its estimated market valuation is $960,000, reflecting its age and configuration for executive or special-mission roles.

The airframe typically carries a 6–10 passenger executive cabin layout but has documented fittings consistent with medevac operations, including stretcher provisions and photographs showing ambulance markings. Operated from Hillsboro, Oregon by AERO AIR LLC, the jet’s mission profile is consistent with short- to medium-haul executive transport and on-demand medical evacuation, leveraging the Learjet 35A’s speed and high cruise altitude. Avionics fitment and exact interior specification for this individual airframe are not published in the available data; maintenance considerations focus on support for the Garrett TFE731 powerplants and airframe aging items common to aircraft of this vintage.

The Learjet 35A family occupies a light, high-speed business jet niche known for long range relative to size, high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models historically included other light jets offering similar speed-range tradeoffs; demand tends toward buyers and charter operators seeking efficient point-to-point executive or medevac capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on engine support for the TFE731 series and mission-specific outfitting, which influence valuation and marketability at the listed $960,000.
