N8TG

This airframe, registered as N8TG, is a 1999-built Learjet 31A with manufacturer's serial number 31-190. The jet is listed as owned by THUNDERUN AVIATION CORP (a corporation based in Glenwood, NY, US) and is registered in the US civil registry. Registered to THUNDERUN AVIATION CORP, the aircraft is presented with an estimated market value of $1,000,000, reflecting its age, configuration and systems fit. Documentation indicates a standard corporate/operator basing in Glenwood, New York, with no other registry actions published in the supplied data.

The onboard cabin for this Learjet 31A is described in its typical configuration as a 6–8 executive layout (club seating) with a forward belted lavatory; the interior can be reconfigured into convertible layouts for medevac operations or for additional seating to utilize the full 10-seat capacity. Avionics installed follow the typical 31A fit: an AlliedSignal / Honeywell EFIS-style digital flight deck paired with a KFC-series autopilot, providing modernized flight management and automation for the type. Operationally the airframe suits short-to-medium range business and charter missions from its Glenwood, NY base, exploiting the type’s high cruise speed and 51,000 ft ceiling for rapid point-to-point transit and efficient climb profiles. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would center on upkeep of the Garrett TFE731 series turbofan engines and sustainment of the EFIS/autopilot suite.

The Learjet 31A occupies a light, high-speed business jet niche characterized by fast cruise performance and high-altitude capability, exemplified by this airframe’s 441 kts cruise and 51,000 ft ceiling. In the secondary market it competes functionally with older models from other light-jet families where buyers seek speed and climb performance over cabin volume. Given the 1999 build year and the listed $1,000,000 valuation, prospective buyers or charter operators typically weigh engine time on the Garrett TFE731 series and avionics upgrade paths against acquisition price; resale demand tends to be limited to operators valuing the type’s specific performance and the convenience of the aircraft’s convertible cabin options.
