N826CA

This airframe, registered as N826CA, is a 2002-built Learjet 45 (serial 45-222) manufactured by Learjet / Bombardier. The aircraft is owned by LEAR MANAGEMENT LLC, a corporate owner based in Tulsa, OK, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe has been noted in public records and listings with a reported 2019 interior refurbishment and subsequent listings showing a 9‑place executive layout, indicative of post-production cabin reconfiguration and marketing activity. Maintenance and registry actions appear consistent with corporate management oversight rather than individual private ownership.

The airframe is fitted with a flat-floor executive cabin configuration and was reported to have undergone an interior update in 2019, with subsequent listings reflecting a 9‑place executive layout within the overall 12-seat certification. Avionics are the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite, supporting the Learjet 45’s typical long-range corporate missions and high-altitude cruise profiles. Operated from a corporate base in Tulsa, OK, under ownership by LEAR MANAGEMENT LLC, the aircraft is suited to short‑to‑medium international hops and domestic business shuttles within its 1,700 nm range and high-speed cruise. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow Learjet/Bombardier structural and engine maintenance programs, with attention to TFE731-20 engine cycles and avionics upgrades consistent with corporate operation.

The Learjet 45 occupies the light to midsize business jet niche, offering fast cruise (here 464 kts) and high-altitude capability (to 51,000 ft) that appeal to corporate owners and charter operators seeking point‑to‑point speed. Competing models in similar mission profiles include other light-midsize jets equipped with TFE-family or analogous engines; buyer demand often focuses on cabin updates and avionics packages such as the installed Honeywell Primus 1000. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine TBO status, completed interior refurbishments (notably the 2019 work), and corporate ownership history when assessing market value and readiness for continued corporate or charter operations.
