N80PG

This entry covers the specific Learjet airframe registered as N80PG, a production example built in 1976 by Gates Learjet with serial number 35-063. The airframe is recorded as owned by Phoenix Air Group, Inc., a corporate owner based in Cartersville, GA, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft is a classic short/medium-range business jet with an assessed value of $960,000 for this airframe, reflecting its age, configuration, and market position. Ownership and operational control by Phoenix Air Group, Inc. situates this airframe within a corporate flight department context based at Cartersville, Georgia.

The airframe features an 8-place executive layout (typical for Learjet 35) cabin, consistent with the model’s role as a compact business transport. Typical missions for this airframe would capitalize on its long-range capability of 2,196 nm and high-speed cruise of 418 kts, supporting transcontinental or multi-state charters and corporate hops from its base in Cartersville, GA, US. The twin Garrett TFE731-2-2B engines, each rated at 3,500 lbf, provide the performance to routinely reach a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, enabling efficient high-altitude cruise and favorable fuel burn for the category. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its vintage 1976 build year and the typical sustainment and overhaul practices associated with aging Learjet 35 airframes operated by corporate entities.

As a representative of the Learjet 35 family, serial 35-063 occupies the market niche of light, high-speed business jets with long-range capability for their size. Competing models historically include other light jets offering similar speed-range tradeoffs; buyer and charter demand for late-production Learjet 35 airframes is influenced by airframe age, avionics fit, and engine maintenance status. Resale considerations for this specific airframe include its assessed $960,000 value, the pedigree of corporate ownership by Phoenix Air Group, Inc., and ongoing maintenance needs typical of a 1976-built twin-engine business jet.
