N61GD

This entry documents airframe N61GD, a Learjet 60 built by Learjet Inc in 1998, serial number 147. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by the corporation UNITEDLINK INC, located in San Antonio, TX, US; ownership is listed under that single corporate operator in the registry. Notable registry details include its 11-seat registration status despite a typical executive cabin fit; the airframe is listed with a market value of $1,700,000 and is presented in operational condition per sale/listing data.

The cabin for this airframe is noted as a typical executive layout configured for 6–8 passengers in practical use while the registry shows up to 11 seats recorded, reflecting flexible interior certification or seating options. Avionics aboard are reported as Collins ProLine 4 per the listing, supporting standard corporate single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operations for the type. Typical mission profiles for this Learjet 60 include short-to-medium-range business travel and charter operations across domestic and cross-border routes consistent with its 2,405 nm range and high-speed cruise of 436 kts. Based at the owner’s San Antonio location, maintenance considerations for this airframe align with PW305A engine support and legacy Learjet 60 systems common to late‑1990s production examples.

The Learjet 60 occupies a mid-light business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft ceiling that suit time-sensitive corporate missions and charter operators seeking fast trip times. Competing models in the same era and mission class include other mid-size light-to-midsize business jets; buyers value the Learjet 60 for speed and runway performance but weigh that against older avionics and age-related maintenance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its 1998 manufacture, PW305A engine support status, and the recorded market value of $1,700,000, factors that influence buyer demand and operating economics.
