Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N824CC is a 1982-built Learjet 55, serial 55-024, manufactured by Gates Learjet (later under Bombardier ownership). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by individual LOPEZ FABIO A, based in Denver, NC, US. Its registry history for this specific airframe reflects long-term private ownership rather than institutional or corporate operators, and current valuation is reported at $695,000, indicating an airframe in the late-secondary market with value consistent with early 1980s business jets. No public record of major ownership transfers or notable incidents is provided in the supplied data.
This specific Learjet 55 is outfitted in an executive cabin layout typical of the model, described as the common 6–8 club configuration with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory; the operator reports the airframe can be configured in a high-density layout for up to 13 seats. Avionics fit is consistent with Collins-era retrofits—commonly referred to as Collins Pro Line or comparable Collins-era suites—reflecting typical modernization for 55-series airframes to maintain IFR and charter capability. Operationally, the aircraft’s range and cruise speed support medium-haul corporate missions and owner-flown travel across continental U.S. routes from its base in Denver, NC, US, with maintenance considerations centered on aging TFE731-series engines and the serviceability of Collins-era components.
The Learjet 55 occupies a middle-performance niche within light-to-midsize business jets of its era, offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes relative to earlier light jets while retaining compact operating economics. Competitors historically included contemporaneous offerings from other manufacturers targeting transcontinental light business missions. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on engine TBO status, avionics retrofits such as the Collins Pro Line replacements, and interior refurbishment; the reported market value of $695,000 reflects these cumulative factors for an early-1980s Learjet 55.
