Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N98QQ, is a 2015-built Bombardier Learjet 70 with manufacturer listed as Learjet Inc. and manufacturer's serial number 45-2146. The aircraft is owned by SNIDER AVIATION LLC (an LLC based in Marshall, TX, US), and is registered in the United States. The current record indicates the airframe has remained with this single corporate owner since delivery in 2015, with no additional public registry transfers noted.
The cabin in this specific Learjet 70 is fitted in a typical executive layout with a forward galley and executive seating and is certified for up to 12 seats; this configuration supports short-duration corporate missions and light charter roles. Avionics are centered on the Garmin G5000-based Vision flight deck, providing integrated flight management, touchscreen controls, and advanced situational awareness suited to single-pilot or two-pilot operation depending on operator procedures. Based from Marshall, TX, US under corporate ownership, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with regional business travel, including point-to-point domestic sectors and transcontinental legs near its maximum range of 2,060 nautical miles. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with two-engine turbofan schedules and Honeywell TFE731 family support practices.
The Bombardier Learjet 70 occupies the light-cabin, high-speed end of the business jet market, offering a cruise near 432 knots and a service ceiling of 51,000 feet that appeals to operators valuing speed and altitude capability. Competing models in its niche include updated light jets and super-light entries offering similar range and cabin flexibility. For buyers and charter operators, the Learjet 70’s two Honeywell TFE731-40BR-1B engines and Garmin G5000-derived avionics represent established support networks, predictable operating costs, and resale considerations tied to engine time and avionics configuration.
