N81VN

The airframe bearing tail number N81VN is a Learjet 35A built in 1989 with manufacturer serial number 652. The aircraft is owned by the corporation CHROMED IN HOLLYWOOD INC, based in Franklin, TN, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. Registered to a corporate owner in Franklin, Tennessee, this airframe represents a late-1980s example of the model’s production run. Current valuation records list the aircraft at $960,000, providing a snapshot of its market standing among aging light business jets.

The Learjet 35A airframe N81VN is configured with seating for 10, consistent with typical executive or charter layouts of the type, and would support short to medium-range missions within its 1,930 nm range and cruise speed of 418 kts. Operated from its owner’s base in Franklin, TN, US, the jet’s operational profile likely centers on corporate transport, point-to-point charters, and rapid business missions that exploit its high cruise speed and 45,000 ft ceiling. Cabin and avionics specifics are not published for this individual airframe; maintenance considerations generally focus on aging airframe systems and the two TFE731-2 turbofan engines, each producing 3,500 lbf of thrust. Ownership by a corporate entity suggests routine corporate flight operations and standard maintenance oversight aligned with US registry requirements.

The Learjet 35A family occupies a performance niche as a light, high-speed business jet, prized for climb performance and long-range capability relative to contemporaries. Competing models historically include other light jets offering similar speed-range tradeoffs; market demand has been driven by operators seeking efficient point-to-point corporate transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1989 airframe like N81VN hinge on engine hours, avionics upgrades, and structural maintenance history—factors reflected in the listed value of $960,000.
