Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N87SK is a 2006-built Learjet 45 (serial 45-317) constructed by Learjet Inc. and registered in the US. The aircraft is owned by B2 AIR LLC, a Delaware limited liability company based in Newark, DE, US, which appears as the current registrant on public records. FAA registry data notably lists the type as a 12-seat configuration, and the airframe carries an assessed value of $3,400,000 in available records. No other prior owners or transfers are provided in the supplied data.
This specific Learjet 45 is described as having a typical 8-place executive double-club layout in the cabin, although the FAA registry entry reflects 12 seats, indicating a difference between typical executive fit and certificated seating capacity. Avionics are noted as the Honeywell Primus 1000 as typical equipment for the model; many 45-series airframes also carry optional or upgraded Garmin G5000/G6000 suites under supplemental type certificates, which may apply to individual examples. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include short- to mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter flights within the aircraft’s 1,710 nm range and high-speed cruise capability; base operations for this registration are tied to Newark, DE by owner address. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow Learjet 45 type programs and incorporate any STC-installed avionics or equipment into scheduled inspections and records.
The Learjet 45 occupies a light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling suited to business and charter operators seeking rapid point-to-point transit. Competing models in its class typically include early-generation Cessna Citation and Hawker variants offering similar range and seating; buyer demand often targets well-maintained, avionics-upgraded airframes. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2006 Learjet 45 like N87SK include engine TBO status on the Honeywell TFE731-20AR units, completeness of logbooks, and any avionics STCs (for example G5000/G6000 installs) which can materially affect marketability.
