N96GS

The airframe bearing tail number N96GS is a 1985-built Learjet 35A, serial number 35-606, manufactured by Gates Learjet Corp.. It is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporation (trustee) based in North Salt Lake, UT, US; this trustee ownership is a notable registration status reflecting corporate trust holding rather than individual ownership. The airframe’s configuration and civil registry place it in typical executive/fixed-wing multi-engine operations; its listed market valuation at the time of record is $960,000 and condition notes are reflected in that valuation rather than detailed maintenance history.

This specific Learjet 35A, N96GS, typically carries an executive interior organized in an 8–10 place layout with common club and divan variations, consistent with the model’s role as a light business jet. Operated from a base associated with its trustee owner in North Salt Lake, UT, missions for this airframe are commonly short- to mid-range executive charters or corporate point-to-point flights leveraging its 1,930 nm range and high cruise speed. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities for this serial are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow Learjet 35A fleet practices given its 1985 build year and Garrett/Honeywell TFE731-series engines, which influence inspection cycles and parts sourcing.

The Learjet 35A family occupies the light, high-speed business jet niche, valued for fast cruise (here 418 kts) and high altitude capability (45,000 ft) for efficient point-to-point travel. In the market, it competes with other light jets of similar vintage and performance; buyers and charter operators balance operating costs, aging airframe maintenance, and interior refurbishment needs against purchase price — reflected here by a valuation of $960,000. Resale and continued operation hinge on engine program status, avionics upgrades, and airframe condition typical for a mid-1980s Learjet.
