Model & Market Context
N976DG is a 1981 Learjet 55 (MSN 55-013) registered to CF AVIATION TRUST LLC, Trustee, Wilmington, DE. The FAA-derived registration entry for N976DG lists the registration action of 2023-04-17 with a last action on 2023-08-16 and Mode S transponder hex AD9A41.
The type is a two‑crew, executive business jet commonly outfitted in 6–8 passenger executive layouts though the registry shows a maximum seating configuration of 13; the Learjet 55 series normally features an aft lavatory and a small galley. Typical avionics fits on upgraded LJ55s use Collins-family equipment/FMS upgrades. Power is provided by two Honeywell (Garrett) TFE731 series turbofans (TFE731-3 variants).
The Learjet 55 (“Longhorn”) entered service in 1981 as a larger-cabin evolution of Learjet designs and was produced through the 1980s; it is valued in the market as an older mid‑size business jet with long-range capability (roughly 2,000+ nm depending on configuration) and high cruise/high‑speed capability (typical cruise ~420 kt, HSC ~458 kt, service ceiling ~51,000 ft). MSN 55-013 has appeared under multiple registrations/registrants historically (including N155SB and several foreign regs) before its current CF Aviation Trust registration. Recent public flight-tracking / spotting records for N976DG are sparse.
