N543LM

This airframe carries the civil registration N543LM and is a factory-built Learjet 35A manufactured by Gates Learjet Corp. in 1981, bearing serial number 35A-426. The aircraft is owned by Aero Air LLC, a corporate entity based in Hillsboro, OR, US, which appears as the operator and home-base organization on recent registry entries. The jet is registered in the US and its recorded market valuation is $960,000, reflecting typical late-model Learjet pricing when accounting for age and systems baseline. Maintenance and valuation notes for this specific airframe indicate a seasoned light business jet with long-term corporate ownership rather than frequent brokerage transfers.

The subject Learjet 35A is configured with a six-seat cabin typical for executive or light air ambulance configurations, emphasizing a compact, forward-facing club arrangement with aisle access. Avionics fit for this serial may vary by owner retrofit history; as owned and operated by a single corporate entity in Hillsboro, the aircraft is likely maintained to operator-specific standards and used on regional and transcontinental point-to-point missions within the 2,004 nm capability. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include business charters, relay flights between West Coast hubs and inland destinations, and specialized short-notice transport where high cruise speed and climb performance to a 45,000 ft ceiling are advantageous. Operator-based maintenance cycles are expected to follow FAA US registry requirements and corporate maintenance programs.

The Learjet 35A family occupies a performance niche for light, fast midsize business jets with efficient twin TFE731 turbofans delivering strong cruise speed and long-range capability for their class. Contemporary competitors include other light jets offering similar transcontinental capability, and buyers often weigh operating costs, retrofit avionics expense, and structural life when assessing units like this 1981 serial. Resale and maintenance considerations for N543LM reflect its vintage: while airframe and engine time-limited components may require investment, the model’s enduring operational utility and moderate market valuation around $960,000 sustain steady interest among corporate operators and specialist mission users.
