Model & Market Context

This entry covers the specific Learjet 55 (Longhorn) airframe bearing tail number N551MF and serial 55-015. The airframe is manufactured by Gates Learjet Corp and is registered in the US; it is owned by Dodson International Parts Inc, a corporation based in Rantoul, KS, US. Public registry actions and a production year are not published for this airframe in the supplied data. The airframe is valued at $850,000, reflecting an airframe-level market estimate rather than current operational status.

The Learjet 55 (Longhorn) configured as this airframe typically supports a 13-seat cabin layout suited to short- to medium-range passenger transport or corporate operations; specific interior fit and livery for N551MF are not published in the supplied data. With twin Garrett TFE731 turbine engines producing about 3,700 lbf each, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include high-speed point-to-point flights within its 2,165 nm range and cruise at approximately 402 kts, operating from a base associated with its owner in Rantoul, KS, US. Avionics fit and bespoke cabin amenities for this specific serial are not detailed; maintenance considerations follow Learjet 55 norms for twin-turbofan, high-altitude certified business jets with a 51,000 ft ceiling and parts support implications consistent with an owner identified as an aircraft parts corporation.

The Learjet 55 (Longhorn) family occupies the mid-size, high-performance corporate jet niche providing high cruise speeds and transcontinental capability within its stated range of 2,165 nm. Competing aircraft in the era and market segment typically include other light-to-mid-size business jets powered by similar turbofan engines; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on availability of Garrett TFE731 support and airframe condition, both factors that influence the noted valuation of $850,000. Buyer and charter demand for an airframe like N551MF commonly depends on interior configuration, avionics modernization, and documented maintenance history.
