N931RS

The airframe bearing tail number N931RS is a 1999-built Bombardier Learjet 31A, serial 31-184, manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace (Learjet). It is owned by Russell Stover Candies Inc. of Kansas City, MO, US, and is U.S.-registered for corporate use from that base. Notable registry details indicate this airframe operates under a U.S. registration and is associated with corporate flight operations centered in Kansas City. As a late-1990s Learjet 31A example, its market valuation is listed at $986,000, reflecting airframe age, typical equipment fit, and 31A-series performance characteristics.

This specific Learjet 31A is outfitted with a typical 6-place executive club cabin featuring a forward refreshment area and options for a belted lavatory or a small divan, consistent with light-corporate interior layouts for the model. Avionics are equipped in the common Learjet 31A fit with a Bendix/King EFS-50 suite, supporting the aircraft’s high-speed, short-haul executive mission profile. Operated from Kansas City by a corporate owner, the aircraft’s range of 1,337 nm and cruise of 441 kts make it suitable for regional nonstop trips across the U.S. Midwest and to major business centers. Maintenance considerations follow typical Learjet 31A practices, including attention to TFE731-series engine programs and high-altitude system checks to support its 51,000 ft certification ceiling.

The Bombardier Learjet 31A occupies a performance niche as a high-speed, light business jet optimized for short- to mid-range point-to-point executive transport, with an emphasis on climb performance and cruise speed. Competing models historically include other light jets with similar mission profiles; buyer and charter demand tends toward operators seeking speed and runway performance in a compact cabin. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1999 Learjet 31A like N931RS reflect age-related inspection cycles, engine program status for the Honeywell TFE731 line, and the influence of avionics fit such as the Bendix/King EFS-50 on market desirability.
