N84FN

The airframe bearing tail number N84FN is a Gates Learjet 36 built in 1974 with serial number 36-002. The jet is manufactured by Gates Learjet and is registered in the US; corporate ownership is recorded to GH EQUIPMENT LLC, a corporation based in Dover, DE, US. The aircraft is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet configured for short- to medium-range operations, and its documented operator/home base aligns with the owner’s Dover, Delaware location. Ownership by GH EQUIPMENT LLC is the most notable recorded registry detail for this specific airframe.

This individual Learjet 36 airframe is typically configured with seating for 10 occupants, reflecting a common executive or small-group transport layout for the type. The aircraft’s range of 2,857 nm and cruise speed of 418 kts make it suitable for transcontinental U.S. missions and point-to-point regional charters from its Dover/Delaware operating base. Cabin layout and avionics fit for this specific serial are not detailed here; however, maintenance and operational planning for this airframe would center on the twin Garrett TFE731-2-2B turbofan engines, each providing 3,500 lbf of thrust, and systems common to early-1970s Learjet construction. Given its corporate registry, the airframe is likely employed in operator-driven business transport or retained as an asset by the owning entity.

The Gates Learjet 36 occupies a performance niche as a light business jet offering relatively high cruise speed and service ceiling—up to 45,000 ft—paired with modest cabin capacity. Contemporary competitors for missions in this segment include other light jets that emphasize speed and range rather than large cabins. For prospective buyers and operators of a 1974 serial 36-002, considerations include age-related maintenance, availability of parts for legacy systems, and the economics of continued operation versus retrofit or refurbishment to modern avionics and interior standards.
