N917BD

This airframe, registered as N917BD, is a 2005-build Bombardier Learjet 45 bearing manufacturer serial number 45-281. The aircraft is recorded in the US registry and is owned by DILLARD'S INC, a corporation based in Tunica, MS, US, which serves as its operator/home base for corporate missions. There are no additional public registry events provided beyond the current ownership; the airframe’s estimated market valuation at the time of record is $2,272,500, indicating a maintained business-jet condition consistent with active corporate use. The type is listed as a fixed-wing multi-engine transport.

The cabin of this Learjet 45 features a flat-floor executive configuration with a typical 8–12-place executive layout and measured interior dimensions of approximately 19 ft 9 in in length, 4 ft 11 in in height, and 5 ft 1 in in width, supporting both short-haul corporate shuttles and longer single-leg missions within its 1,968 nm range. Avionics fit is the typical Learjet 45 installation, Honeywell Primus 1000, providing integrated flight and navigation systems suited to corporate operations and business routes. With seating for 12, the airframe is commonly employed for executive transport profiles, regional charters, and company shuttle duties out of its Tunica, Mississippi base. Routine maintenance considerations reflect the TFE731 powerplants’ established support network and the operational ceiling of 51,000 ft, which influences inspection cycles and pressurization system servicing on this specific aircraft.

The Bombardier Learjet 45 occupies the light-to-mid-size executive jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speed (436 kts) and transcontinental-capable range for its class. Competing models in similar roles include other light-cabin business jets that balance speed and efficiency; buyer and charter demand for this airframe typically focuses on operators needing fast regional connectivity with a compact executive cabin. Resale considerations for this specific airframe are influenced by its model year (2005), serial 45-281, installed avionics (Honeywell Primus 1000), and the twin Honeywell TFE731-20R-1B engines, all factors that inform maintenance status, inspection history, and the documented valuation of $2,272,500.
