N65HU

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N65HU, a 2001-build Learjet 60 with manufacturer serial number 60-228. The airframe was manufactured by LEARJET INC and is owned by HOP-A-JET WORLDWIDE JET CHARTER INC, a corporate owner based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, which also serves as the operator/home base in registry listings. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded with a typical charter configuration; registry documentation notes seating for 11 while charter listings commonly show a seven-place executive cabin. Valuation records list the airframe at $13,650,000, reflecting its build year and configuration.

The subject aircraft is typically marketed in charter listings with a seven-place executive cabin while the registry documents an 11-seat capacity, indicating flexible interior arrangements for this airframe. Operator records place the aircraft in Fort Lauderdale, supporting short to mid-range charter missions consistent with its listed range of 2,451 nm and cruise speed of 436 kts. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A engines producing 4,600 lbf each enable high-altitude cruise to the 51,000 ft ceiling cited for this type, which influences typical mission profiles that prioritize speed and altitude capability over long-haul capacity. Maintenance and operational planning for this specific airframe follow corporate charter patterns under HOP-A-JET WORLDWIDE JET CHARTER INC, and registry notes on seating capacity should be considered when configuring commercial charter offerings.

The Learjet 60 family occupies a performance niche characterized by fast cruise and high-altitude capability for light-to-midsize business jets; this particular airframe, serial 60-228, reflects a 2001 production example. Competing models in the broader market address similar missions, and buyer or charter demand for this configuration often centers on operators seeking speed and payload flexibility within a regional to transcontinental range. Maintenance and resale considerations for this concrete airframe are influenced by its year, corporate ownership, and the recorded valuation of $13,650,000, as well as the duality between charter-listed cabin configuration and registry seating.
