Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N703DJ is a Gates Learjet 35A built in 1977, serial number 155, and recorded as US-registered. Ownership of this specific aircraft is held by the corporation COMMERCIAL NATIONAL BANK OF BRADY, based in Brady, Texas, US, which places the airframe under a financial-institution owner/operator profile rather than a dedicated flight department. Registry entries note the airframe’s construction series and current valuation; the listed market value for this unit is $700,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and airframe hours (not published). No other change-of-ownership events are included in the registry data provided.
Registry data lists 10 seats for this airframe while noting that typical executive interiors for this model are arranged for 6–8 passengers depending on the interior fit; the registry’s count indicates the maximum installed seating rather than a specific executive layout. Operationally, the airframe’s long range of 2,857 nm, high cruise of 418 kts, and service ceiling of 45,000 ft support longer, fast point-to-point corporate or bank-related transfer missions from a Texas base. Avionics fit and specific cabin amenities are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations for this unit are implied by its age and the corporate ownership structure, which commonly emphasizes regulatory compliance and asset preservation.
As a Gates Learjet 35A airframe (manufacturer: Gates Learjet Corporation), this aircraft occupies a high-speed, medium-range category among fixed-wing multi-engine business jets, using twin TFE731-series engines producing 3,500 lbf each. The combination of a 10-seat registry listing, nearly 2,900 nm range and 418-knot cruise positions this airframe for owners or operators seeking long ferry legs or transregional corporate missions. Given the listed valuation of $700,000, resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will center on remaining structural life, engine cycles, interior refurbishment needs, and the market appetite for older, high-performance small business jets.
