N842MB

The airframe registered as N842MB is a 2001-built Learjet 45 (serial 45-179) manufactured by Learjet Inc. This specific airframe is recorded as owned by MED AIR LLC, an LLC based in Lawrenceville, GA, US, and is held on the US civil register as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet. The airframe’s registration and ownership are tied to a single corporate owner in Lawrenceville, reflecting operation from a regional business base rather than multiple commercial operators. Valued at $3,400,000, the aircraft’s appraisal situates it within the used light-cabin business jet market for early-2000s Learjet 45s.

This airframe is configured to carry two crew in an executive layout that typically accommodates 8–12 passengers, and is listed with a 12-seat certificate. The on-board systems are consistent with a Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics fit, representative of typical mid‑generation Learjet 45 installations. Operationally, the airplane’s combination of a high cruise speed of 436 kts and a ferry/mission range near 1,690 nm suits short to medium-range business and charter missions from its Lawrenceville, GA base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with light-cabin twin-jet schedules for Honeywell TFE731-series engines and airframe inspection cycles of early-2000s Learjet models; available records indicate corporate ownership rather than fractional or airline operation, which can influence upkeep and utilization patterns.

The Learjet 45 family occupies the light-cabin, high-speed niche among purpose-built business jets, offering transcontinental capability for small groups and a certified service ceiling to 51,000 ft. Competitors in its era include other light to mid-size business jets offering similar mission profiles and speeds. In the resale market, 2001-model airframes with Honeywell TFE731 engines and Primus 1000 avionics are valued for their performance, though buyer demand and resale considerations often hinge on avionics upgrades, engine cycles, and documented maintenance history; this airframe’s $3,400,000 valuation reflects those cumulative factors.
