N85SV

This airframe, registered as N85SV, is a 1980-built Learjet 35A, serial number 35A-347, manufactured by Gates Learjet (later Bombardier Learjet). It is owned by Randall Aviation, a corporation based in San Jose, CA, and is registered in the US. The airframe is configured and valued as a mature light business jet with an assessed market value of $828,473, reflecting its age and utility status within corporate and charter operations.

The cabin of this specific Learjet 35A follows a typical 8-place executive layout, with common configurations including club seating and divan arrangements. Operated from San Jose, CA by Randall Aviation, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with short- to medium-range executive transport, air charter, and corporate shuttle tasks across the western United States and coastal transits within its published range. No bespoke avionics or unique interior modifications are published for this serial; typical maintenance considerations for this airframe would focus on age-related airframe and engine lifecycle items for the Garrett / Honeywell TFE731-2-2B powerplants and regulatory-compliant inspections for US-registered light jets.

The Learjet 35A occupies the light, high-speed business jet niche known for transcontinental hops at fast cruise speeds and high operational ceilings. With a cruise of 436 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the model competes with contemporary light jets in charter and corporate fleets that prioritize speed and climb performance over cabin volume. Buyer and charter demand for late-1970s/1980s airframes like 35A-347 tends to emphasize acquisition cost, engine hours, and maintenance history; the assessed value of $828,473 places this airframe in the used market segment where resale and maintenance considerations drive transaction decisions.
