N927SK

This entry covers airframe N927SK, a 1999-built Learjet 45 with serial number 45-051. The aircraft is recorded as owned by CROSLEY AVIATION LLC, a corporation (LLC) based in Warsaw, IN, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the registry entry. The airplane is registered in the US and has a reported market valuation of $2,400,000; no other historic ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond the current corporate registration. The airframe’s build year and serial place it late in the first decade of Learjet 45 production, with condition and value reflecting typical late-1990s airframe age and systems baseline.

The aircraft is outfitted with a typical double‑club executive cabin layout designed for 7–9 passengers in normal corporate use while the registry lists a maximum seat count of 12. Avionics fit for this airframe follows the model standard, typically the Honeywell Primus 1000, providing integrated flight and navigation systems consistent with late-1990s business jet standards. Operational missions for this airframe are consistent with light-medium corporate transport and charter roles, supporting point-to-point trips within its stated range of 1,968 nm and cruise speed around 444 kts; typical use would include regional and transcontinental routes in continental North America from its base in Warsaw, IN. Maintenance considerations align with twin-engine Honeywell TFE731 series requirements and the airframe’s age-driven inspection cycles.

The Learjet 45 family occupies a performance niche as a light to midsize business jet emphasizing higher cruise speeds and altitudes, with a certified ceiling of 51,000 ft and long-range capability for its class. Competing models in the era and aftermarket include other light-midsize jets offering similar speed-range tradeoffs; buyer and charter demand tends to favor examples with updated avionics and well-documented maintenance history. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its 1999 vintage, the twin Honeywell TFE731-20 engines, and the presence of the typical Honeywell Primus 1000 suite when evaluating retrofit needs and market positioning.
