N70NJ

The airframe bearing registration N70NJ is a 2013-converted Bombardier Learjet 70 completed from a Learjet 45 platform, serial number 2139 (c/n 45-2139; secondary c/n 70-006). The airframe is recorded in U.S. civil registry as owned by FLYNN MICHAEL AND LORI, an individual owner based in Grand Rapids, MI, US, and the registry entry documents both its conversion lineage and seating flexibility. Valuation records list the aircraft at $5,250,000, reflecting its updated configuration and equipment; public registry notes also indicate the airframe can be certificated for up to 12 seats in maximum layout. No additional operator changes or notable regulatory actions are published beyond the conversion and owner registration.

The cabin of this specific airframe is recorded with a typical six-place executive club layout, supplemented by a forward galley and a belted lavatory located aft; registry notes additionally list capacity for up to 12 seats in a maximum passenger configuration. The panel is described generically as the Garmin G5000-based Vision Flight Deck that is standard on 70-series examples, although the exact fit and any modification specifics for this converted airframe are not publicly specified. Typical mission profiles for this configuration would align with short- to mid-range business travel consistent with a 2,060 nm range and 506 kt cruise, operating from the owner’s base in Grand Rapids, MI; maintenance considerations follow those of converted Learjet 45→70 airframes and Honeywell TFE731-series engine upkeep.

The aircraft is part of the Learjet 70 family lineage derived from the Learjet 45, occupying a light business jet performance niche with high cruise speed and transcontinental range for its class. Competing models in the market typically include other light to midsize business jets offering similar speed and range; buyer demand often favors updated avionics suites and documented airframe conversions. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on its conversion history (c/n 45-2139 to 70-006), the condition of the Honeywell TFE731-40BR-1 engines, and the presence of the Garmin G5000-based Vision Flight Deck as a value-adding feature.
