N979DR

This airframe, registered as N979DR, is a 2001-built Learjet 45 with serial number 45-158. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by N979DR LEAR 45 LLC, an LLC based in Lakeway, TX, US. FAA registry information for this airframe notably lists a 12-seat configuration, and the airframe is commonly noted in records with its corporate LLC owner as the primary registrant. Condition and current market valuation are not published in the provided data.

The subject Learjet 45 is equipped with a typical executive flat‑floor cabin and is commonly fitted in an 8–9 passenger executive layout, although the FAA registry for this specific airframe records 12 seats. Avionics fit for the model is typically a Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS, consistent with common outfitting for this series. With its twin Honeywell TFE731 engines and a range of 1,968 nm, this airframe is configured for short to medium-haul business missions and executive transport from its operator/home base region around Lakeway, TX, US. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow Learjet 45 norms, driven by twin-engine TFE731 support and the avionics suite typical to late‑model Lear 45 installations.

The Learjet 45 family occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability within range and higher cruise and ceiling performance than many light jets of similar vintage. Competing models typically include other light-to-mid-size executive jets with similar payload-range profiles; buyers and charter operators have historically valued the Learjet 45 for its speed and high service ceiling. Market and resale considerations for this particular 2001 airframe center on engine program status for the TFE731-20AR engines, avionics aging relative to contemporary glass upgrades, and the specific cabin configuration (FAA‑listed 12 seats versus the more common 8–9 executive layouts) which can affect appeal to corporate and charter buyers.
