N890LJ

This airframe, registered as N890LJ, is a 1982-built Gates Learjet 35A with manufacturer serial number 35-487. The airframe was produced by Gates Learjet Corp. and is recorded in U.S. registry ownership as TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in North Salt Lake, UT, US. The aircraft carries U.S. registration and has been described in broker listings with an executive/charter interior; ownership recorded as TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE is the principal recent registry notation. Valuation estimates for this specific ship are approximately $960,000, reflecting market condition and configuration factors cited in listings.

The installed cabin on N890LJ is reported as an 8-place executive / charter layout typically arranged in a club/divan style in broker descriptions, indicating a mixed passenger and charter role rather than a pure luxury long‑range VIP fit. Typical mission profiles for this airframe are short- to medium-range executive transport or on-demand charter operations within its 1,930 nm mission radius and at cruise speeds near 436 kts, often operating to regional airports from a base associated with the corporate owner in North Salt Lake, UT. Avionics fit and detailed equipment lists are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations center on the TFE731-2 series engines and airframe age consistent with a 1982 build.

The Gates Learjet 35A family occupies a light twin-jet niche valued for speed, climb performance and transcontinental reach for short‑to‑medium sectors; with a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and twin TFE731-2 powerplants, it competes against other light business jets in used and charter marketplaces. Buyer and charter demand for 35A airframes is driven by operational economics, interior configuration (the club/divan layout reported for this ship), and maintenance status—factors that directly influence resale value such as the cited $960,000 estimate. Engines, avionics modernization and overall maintenance records remain primary resale and operational cost determinants for a 1982 airframe like N890LJ.
