Model & Market Context
The airframe with registration N942FK is a 2001-built Learjet 45 bearing serial number 145. It is owned by THUNDER WINGS AND AIRCRAFT SALES LLC, an LLC based in Bethany, OK, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe is presented in owner listings with seating described as nine; owner listing shows 9. No public record of prior owners or major registry actions beyond current ownership is provided in the supplied data.
The cabin of N942FK is fitted in an executive configuration with tan leather double-club seating in forward and aft clubs, fold-out tables, and an enclosed aft lavatory providing seating for eight to nine passengers depending on configuration; owner material lists seating for 9. Avionics are a Honeywell Primus 1000-class suite featuring DU-870 displays, IC-600 EFIS, RNZ-851 radios, TCAS, and SATCOM, supporting IFR transport and long-range business missions. With a cruise speed of 436 kts and a range of 1,700 nm the airframe is typically suited to transcontinental or cross-border executive transport out of its operator base in Bethany, Oklahoma. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would center on the twin Honeywell TFE731-20BR-1B engines and sustainment of the Primus 1000-class avionics stack to meet contemporary navigation and communications requirements.
The Learjet 45, including this 2001 serial 145 example, occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche by offering high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft ceiling, characteristics prized for rapid point-to-point executive travel. Competitors in its class include variants of the Cessna Citation series and smaller Gulfstream or Bombardier offerings in the light-midsize segment. Market considerations for buyers and charter operators of this model typically emphasize engine time, avionics updates such as ADS-B or newer SATCOM compatibility, and cabin refurbishment; for N942FK, the existing Primus 1000-class suite and executive tan leather layout define its current market positioning.
