Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N98JV, a 1999-built Learjet 60 bearing serial number 60-135. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by JVE Corp, a corporation based in Kilgore, Texas, US. The airframe’s documented history centers on that corporate ownership; no additional notable registry actions or ownership transfers are published. Condition and valuation details for this specific airframe are not published in the supplied data.
The cabin of N98JV is described as a typical seven-place executive layout with an enclosed lavatory, configured for corporate transport and executive missions. Specific avionics fit and any bespoke interior modifications for this airframe are not published. With a seven-seat configuration and long-range capability, typical mission profiles would include transregional corporate hops and point-to-point business travel within the aircraft’s maximum range. The operator is based with its owner in Kilgore, Texas, and routine operations and maintenance considerations would align with Learjet 60 norms, though no airframe-specific maintenance records are provided.
The Learjet 60 family occupies a mid-size, high-performance business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and a lofty certified ceiling relative to many light-cabin competitors. Models with the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A engines pair good thrust with efficient cruise performance for this class. Typical competitors include other midsize executive jets offering similar transregional range and seating, and buyer demand centers on mission flexibility and lifecycle maintenance costs. For this specific airframe, resale and maintenance considerations hinge on age (1999 build) and documented owner/operator maintenance, neither of which are detailed in the provided data.
