N60VV

This entry covers airframe N60VV, a 1997-built Learjet 60 bearing serial number 60-104. The aircraft is registered in the United States and listed to SIXTY SOMETHING LLC of Mobile, Alabama, reflecting a corporate ownership structure and an operator-base in Mobile, AL. Registry notes indicate the common executive use and occasional reconfiguration history typical for the type, and its market valuation is recorded at $2,600,000, a figure that highlights its position among late-model 1990s midsize business jets.

The cabin for N60VV is configured in a typical executive layout accommodating 6–8 passengers in most operator-dependent arrangements, with registry notes indicating up to 11 seats in some configurations; it includes a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory. Avionics fit for this airframe is the original Collins Pro Line 4 installation, consistent with many production Learjet 60s, while later 60XR examples are known to have received Collins Pro Line 21 upgrades. Typical missions for this airframe profile include corporate point-to-point charters and owner-flown domestic and continental trips within its 2,410 nm range and at cruise speeds near 436 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Mobile or other regional business airports. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin PW305A engines and the life-cycle support norms for 1997-model Learjet 60s under corporate ownership.

The Learjet 60 family occupies a performance niche as a light-to-midsize, high-speed business jet with a high-altitude ceiling of 51,000 ft, competing with contemporaries in its class for speed and climb performance. Market demand typically comes from private owners, small corporations, and charter operators seeking fast point-to-point capability; resale value for late-1990s airframes such as N60VV is influenced by avionics standard, interior refurbishment, and engine time—factors reflected in the $2,600,000 valuation. Maintenance and resale considerations for this model center on engine shop visits for PW305A units and potential avionics upgrades from Pro Line 4 to Pro Line 21 to meet modern charter and owner expectations.
