Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N72AY, is a Learjet 35A built in 1981 by Gates Learjet Corporation and carries serial number 419. The aircraft is owned by CABABIE SARA, an individual based in Laredo, TX, US, and it is listed as US-registered. Condition and equipment notes from listing material indicate an executive-configured cabin and modernized avionics, and current estimated market value is $890,261. No other ownership changes or specific registry actions were provided beyond the current ownership and US registration.
The aircraft carries an eight-place executive cabin layout reported as a club plus divan style in listings, with cherry laminate cabinets and leather seating that reflect typical corporate interior appointments. Avionics are centered on Collins core radios supplemented by a Universal UNS-1F FMS, and the airframe is equipped with ADS‑B Out, TCAS I, and a Class B EGPWS / Honeywell MARK VIII reference suite according to listing materials. Based in Laredo, TX, the aircraft is configured for short to medium-range business missions within its 1,930 nm range and often used for executive transport and light charter missions consistent with a 10-seat certification. Maintenance considerations align with the Learjet 35A fleet baseline, including twin TFE731 engine support and avionics upkeep for TCAS and EGPWS systems.
The Learjet 35A family occupies a light, high-speed business jet niche characterized by high cruise speeds (here 436 kts) and high-altitude capability (45,000 ft), balanced against aging-aircraft market pressures. Competing models in mission profile include other light twins offering similar speed and range; buyer and charter demand often hinge on interior condition, avionics updates, and engine program status. Resale considerations for this airframe include the 1981 build year and serial 419, its avionics fitment, and the listed value of $890,261, all factors that influence maintenance budgeting and marketability.
