Model & Market Context
This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N73CK, a Learjet 35A built in 1973 with manufacturer serial number 35A-092. The airframe is owned and operated by KALITTA CHARTERS LLC and is based in Ypsilanti, MI, US, where it is held on the U.S. registry (US). The jet is equipped and maintained in a configuration consistent with single-operator charter use, and its current estimated market valuation is $960,000. Notable registry actions are limited to the current documented ownership; no other transfers are recorded in the supplied data.
The cabin layout for this airframe is configured for 10 passengers, reflecting a typical short- to medium-range corporate or charter interior for the Learjet 35A type. Avionics fit and specific cabin furnishings are not published in the provided data; however, the aircraft’s performance figures — including a cruise of 418 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft — align it with high-speed, high-altitude charter missions between regional city pairs within its 1,930 nm range. Operated by KALITTA CHARTERS LLC out of Ypsilanti, MI, US, the aircraft’s maintenance and operational considerations would follow Learjet 35A type programs for twin-engine turbofan business jets and be tailored to repeated charter cycles and regional routing. Any unique amenities or supplemental maintenance records were not provided.
The Learjet 35A family occupies a long-standing niche for operators seeking lightweight, high-cruise-speed multi-engine business jets with transregional capability. In the secondary market, airframes of this vintage (built 1973) are valued for reliability and performance but command attention for aging-airframe maintenance and time-limited components; the supplied valuation of $960,000 reflects that balance. Competing models typically include other light twins in the same era and modern turbofan light jets, with buyer and charter demand influenced by operating cost, range (1,930 nm), and cabin capacity (10 seats). Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe, N73CK (serial 35A-092), are tied to operator maintenance history and adherence to type-specific service bulletins and overhauls, data not detailed here.
