N780BH

N780BH is a 2011 Bombardier Learjet 45XR (MSN 431) registered in the United States. The airframe carries a typical 8-place executive double-club interior with an additional belted lavatory seat and a forward service galley; completion was recorded in Wichita in December 2011. The airplane is powered by two Honeywell TFE731-20BR series turbofan engines (flat-rated, ~3,650 lbf each) and is certificated for a 51,000 ft service ceiling. The entry shows current registration activity in 2024 and an FAA certificate issue date of 2024-06-01.

N780BH is based in Omaha, NE (KOMA) and is operated/managed in the Part-135/onsite charter environment (Jet Linx noted as on-aircraft operator in public spotter and operator listings). The typical mission set is regional to transcontinental executive transport: high-speed cruise in the mid-400 kt range, ferry legs approaching ~1,800–1,900 nm when payload allows, and frequent short-field city-pair hops. Engines are enrolled on a Honeywell MSP program per maintenance/for-sale listing notes; the forward galley, enclosed aft lavatory and double-club seating make the aircraft well-suited to executive or MEDEVAC/quick-turn charter operations.

The Learjet 45/45XR family is a mid-size, high-speed business jet introduced to provide light-cabin executive speed and climb performance with modern avionics (Honeywell Primus 1000 family). The XR upgrade increased takeoff gross weight and improved performance through engine/weight changes, keeping the model competitive against light midsize Citations and early Phenom/CJ-family entries. The 45XR remains attractive to brokers and operators who prioritise speed and runway performance in a compact cabin footprint; market values for well‑maintained 45XRs typically sit in the low‑single-digit million USD range depending on logbooks and maintenance status.
