Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe registered as N700SR, a Gates Learjet 55 built in 1983 with serial number 079. The airframe is owned by MD JET AVIATION SERVICES INC (a corporation (co-owned)), based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft's documented valuation is $850,000, and the airframe record notes corporate co-ownership and Wilmington, Delaware as the operator/home base for maintenance and registry actions.
The airframe is configured to accommodate 13 seats, consistent with business transportation and small group charter profiles for this particular Gates Learjet 55. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft emphasize medium-range, high-speed travel given its 419 kts cruise and 2,244 nm range, with operations staged from its Wilmington, DE operator base. Avionics fit and specific cabin amenities are not published for this airframe; maintenance considerations tie to its twin Garrett/Honeywell TFE731 series turbine engines and the high-altitude capability to 51,000 ft, which can influence inspection cycles and engine support requirements for a corporate-owned fleet aircraft.
This individual Gates Learjet 55 airframe demonstrates the performance envelope of its model through a combination of high cruise speed and transcontinental range for its class as represented by the supplied figures. Its valuation at $850,000 and corporate, co-owned registry status reflect secondary-market positioning where age, serial status (079), and engine type are primary resale and operating-cost determinants. Prospective buyers or charter operators referencing this airframe would weigh its high-altitude capability, twin TFE731 engines, and configured seating capacity against ongoing maintenance and overhaul intervals inherent to older-model fixed-wing, multi-engine business jets.
