N707RG

This entry covers airframe N707RG, a Gates Learjet 35A built in 1978 with manufacturer serial number 35-169. The airframe is recorded as owned by Gordon Air LLC, a corporation based in Charlotte, NC, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s registry reflects corporate ownership rather than individual ownership, and its reported market valuation is $960,000, indicating the aircraft’s condition and market position among late-1970s light-corporate jets. No additional registry events are published beyond the current corporate registration and valuation.

The aircraft is fitted in a typical executive configuration for the type, described as a 6–8 place executive club/divan layout, which matches common operator interiors for comfort and light corporate transport. Operated from a corporate base in Charlotte, NC, US, the Learjet 35A airframe is well suited to short‑to‑medium sector corporate missions and on-demand charter tasks within its 1,930 nm range and fast cruise of 418 kts. Avionics fit and specific onboard amenities for this individual airframe are not published; routine maintenance considerations follow the Learjet 35A type norms, including attention to the twin TFE731-2 turbofan engines and aging‑airframe corrosion and systems lifecycle items typical for a 1978 build.

The Gates Learjet 35A occupies the light corporate jet niche, offering high cruise speed and high operating ceiling (45,000 ft) that appeal to operators seeking fast point‑to‑point travel. Competitors historically include other light jets of the era and later turbofan light jets that emphasize range and cabin flexibility; the noted market valuation of $960,000 reflects depreciation, maintenance status, and market demand for late‑model Learjet 35A airframes. Prospective buyers and charter operators typically weigh engine program status, avionics upgrades, and interior refurbishment when assessing resale or operational economics for this serial and year cohort.
