Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N69VH, is a Learjet 55 built by Gates Learjet Corp in 1982 with serial number 55-062. It is owned by Kolob Canyons Air Services Inc (a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US) and carries a United States registration. The aircraft has been offered in listings noting avionics and ADS‑B capability, and its market valuation is listed at $799,000. Reported listing details indicate ADS‑B Out and dual FMS installations as notable equipment upgrades for this specific airframe.

The aircraft is outfitted in an executive seven-seat club layout with an enclosed aft lavatory and a forward galley, as reported in sales and listing descriptions for this airframe. Avionics aboard this airframe are described as Collins-based legacy systems consistent with 55-series installations, with listings commonly reporting Collins FC‑550 autopilot/FMS equipment and ADS‑B Out plus dual FMS capability. Typical missions for this configuration align with executive transport and point‑to‑point corporate travel within the aircraft’s approximately 2,244 nm range and high‑altitude capability to FL510. Operator base and corporate ownership are recorded in Wilmington, Delaware, and maintenance considerations for this airframe would reflect aging 1982‑build systems alongside documented avionics upgrades.

The Learjet 55 airframe represented here, serial 55-062, reflects the 55-series performance envelope characterized by high cruise speed (419 kts), long ferry/intercity range (2,244 nm), and a 51,000 ft service ceiling—attributes that have historically positioned the model for light business jet missions. In secondary-market terms, the indicated valuation of $799,000 and recorded avionics upgrades (ADS‑B Out / dual FMS) are relevant to buyer demand and resale competitiveness, as purchasers typically weigh propulsion and avionics status, refurbishment needs, and operating economics when evaluating early‑1980s Learjet 55 airframes.
