N60BC

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N60BC, a Learjet Model 60 manufactured by LEARJET INC and completed in 1997 with manufacturer serial number 105. The airframe is owned by ARK AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Newport Beach, CA, US, and is registered for operation in the US; the current registration is recorded in the United States. Available records list a market value of $2,000,000, reflecting the airframe's mature age and the Model 60's residual market position. No other transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond the listed ownership and registration.

The subject airframe typically presents an executive cabin configured for 8 seats, consistent with the Learjet Model 60 role as a small-to-medium corporate jet; specifics of the internal layout and finishes for this registration are not published beyond the seating count. Avionics and systems fit for this particular serial are not provided in the available data, so detailed avionics suite information is not stated. With a listed cruise of 436 kts and range of 2,418 nm, operational profiles for N60BC would commonly include transcontinental U.S. missions and short international hops from its home base in Newport Beach, CA, supporting business and executive transport. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical requirements of a late-1990s Learjet airframe and the PW300-series engines, with life-limited components and engine shop visits driven by hours/cycles rather than unusual modifications documented for this registration.

The Learjet 60 occupies a performance niche as a light-medium, high-speed corporate jet with a high operational ceiling of 51,000 ft and relatively fast cruise of 436 kts. Competing models in its era and segment include other light-medium cabin jets offering similar transcontinental capability, and demand in the pre-owned market tends toward buyers seeking performance at a lower acquisition cost. At a listed value of $2,000,000, resale considerations include remaining calendar and cycle life of the PW300 SER engines, avionics currency or upgrades, and airframe refurbishment needs typical of a 1997-built airframe.
