Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N970SB, is a 2015-built Bombardier Learjet 70 with serial number 2144. It is owned by CLEVELAND CONSTRUCTION INC, a corporation based in Naples, FL, US, and is operated from that home base under its US registration. The jet carries a contemporary avionics fit and an executive interior consistent with its build year; current valuation is estimated at $4,700,000, reflecting market position and airframe age. No additional registry actions or notable incidents are published for this specific serial in the provided data.
The cabin of this Learjet 70 is fitted in a typical executive double-club layout, commonly accommodating 6–8 pax in operator fit, with a forward galley and an aft lavatory consistent with corporate transport missions. Avionics are provided by the Garmin G5000 Vision Flight Deck, supporting high‑performance navigation, situational awareness and crew interfaces for single‑pilot capable operations in the type certificate envelope. Operationally the airframe is suited to short to medium intercity and business long‑range missions within its 2,060 nm capability and high cruise of 506 kts, frequently flown from its Naples, Florida base. Maintenance considerations align with the Learjet 70 lineage and the Honeywell TFE731 series engines, with corporate ownership indicating centralized maintenance and tracking practices.
The Bombardier Learjet 70 occupies a light, high‑speed business jet niche emphasizing speed and altitude performance, exemplified by a 51,000 ft ceiling and robust cruise. It competes with other high‑performance light jets in charter and owner‑operator markets where buyers value speed and short‑field capability alongside modern avionics such as the Garmin G5000. Resale and maintenance considerations reflect engine series commonality and airframe age (built 2015), influencing market pricing around the stated $4,700,000 valuation and demand among corporate operators and charter fleets.
