N77GU

This entry covers airframe N77GU, a North American Rockwell NA-265-65 Sabreliner 65 built in 1979 with serial number 465-12. The airframe is registered in the United States and is currently owned by FLYING COLORS AIRPARTS INC, a corporate operator based in Leesburg, FL, US. The installation uses twin turbofan powerplants and is documented with a market valuation of $500,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and maintenance considerations. Registry and operator details identify the aircraft as a fixed-wing, multi-engine civilian business jet in commercial corporate hands.

The airframe is configured with 12 seats, indicating a typical corporate or light charter interior layout optimized for short- to medium-haul point-to-point missions within its 2,800 nm range and at a cruise of 430 kts. Operated from Leesburg, FL, US by FLYING COLORS AIRPARTS INC, the aircraft’s twin TFE731-3 series engines provide the thrust profile used in its historical mission set. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe are influenced by its 1979 manufacture date and the economics associated with a listed value of $500,000, which informs operational budgeting, parts sourcing, and periodic inspections. No separate avionics or interior refurbishment details are published for this airframe.

As a North American Rockwell NA-265-65 Sabreliner 65, this airframe belongs to a family positioned historically as a small-to-medium business jet with a high-altitude capability (service ceiling 45,000 ft) and transcontinental range (2,800 nm). With twin TFE731-3 series engines producing 3,700 lbf each, the model competes in the used market on performance metrics such as cruise speed (430 kts) and seating for 12, while resale and operating economics are reflected in the current valuation of $500,000. Buyers and operators typically weigh vintage airframe maintenance and parts availability against the Sabreliner’s performance niche when assessing acquisition or charter demand.
