Model & Market Context
N568PA is a 1978 Learjet 35A (MSN 35A-205) registered in the United States. The airframe has been operated on U.S. civil registry for many years and has photographic records under multiple operators; the airframe is a classic wingtip‑tank Learjet 35A with twin aft‑fuselage-mounted turbofan engines. The current FAA/registry information shows the aircraft registered to a U.S. corporate owner and active on civil flights in 2024–2025.
The airplane is configured as a light executive jet with a small executive cabin (typical 6–10 passenger layouts are used on this model) and an enclosed aft lavatory; standard mission profiles are single‑leg transcontinental or regional nonstop sectors. Power is provided by two Garrett TFE731 turbofan engines (TFE731‑2 series on 35A variants) producing roughly 3,500 lbf each; the airframe is certificated for operations to FL450 and is commonly used for charter, air‑ambulance, and corporate missions. Typical avionics on in‑service 35As vary by modification but many retain Collins/Honeywell-era radios and FC‑530/legacy autopilot suites or later retrofits.
The Learjet 35/35A family is a lightweight, high‑speed business jet introduced in the 1970s and produced through the early 1990s; it is known for excellent cruise speeds, short‑field performance and long transcontinental range for its class. The 35A improved on the 35 with upgraded TFE731‑2B engines and higher long‑range capability; operators value the model for fast point‑to‑point charters, medevac and light corporate transport. Market values for well‑maintained 35A airframes remain in the lower‑million to sub‑million range depending on avionics and maintenance status.
