N651MK

This airframe, registered as N651MK, is a 1981-built example of the Rockwell Sabreliner 65, serial number 465-73, manufactured by Rockwell International Corporation. The jet is owned by MAXFLY AVIATION INC, a corporation based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, and carries a United States registration. The aircraft’s documented market valuation is $595,000, reflecting its status as a mature, late-model airframe within the fixed-wing multi-engine category. Registry records indicate corporate ownership and an operator base consistent with South Florida business aviation activity.

The airframe’s cabin accommodates 12 seats, supporting short- to medium-haul executive transport or light charter operations typical of Sabreliner 65 interiors. With a maximum cruise of 441 knots and a published range of 2,480 nautical miles, typical mission profiles include transcontinental U.S. trips and longer offshore hops from a South Florida base. The twin Garrett / Honeywell TFE731 turbofan installation, each rated at 3,500 lbf thrust, provides the performance envelope that permits operations up to a service ceiling of 45,000 feet. As a corporate-owned aircraft, maintenance and avionics fit are likely aligned with operator requirements, while the stated valuation of $595,000 suggests an airframe that may require ongoing systems investment relative to newer models.

The Rockwell Sabreliner 65 occupies a niche as a light-to-midsize business jet with higher cruise and ceiling performance than contemporaneous turboprops, targeting owners seeking speed and altitude capability. Competing models historically include other light business jets equipped with rear-mounted turbofans; the Sabreliner family is noted for rugged airframe design and adaptable cabin layouts. Given the airframe’s 1981 build year and the listed market value of $595,000, buyers and operators should weigh maintenance, parts availability, and avionics upgrade costs when considering acquisition or resale of this specific airframe.
