RADAR ESTIMATE
What N129TK is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Learjet 35A on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N129TK's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N129TK
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This airframe, registered as N129TK, is a 1979-built Learjet 35A with constructor serial number 35-253, manufactured by Gates Learjet with ongoing type support from Learjet / Bombardier. The aircraft is owned by Bankair Inc, a corporate owner based in West Columbia, SC, US, and has been maintained in corporate service.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin for this airframe follows the executive layout typical to the type, configured as a 6-8 passenger club/divan configuration with a small galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, mirroring cabin fits noted on similar manufacturer serial number examples. Avionics on upgraded 35A airframes are typically Collins Pro Line suites with dual Collins navigation and common UNS-1M FMS retrofits; this airframe’s documented avionics fit follows that upgrade path, supporting modern navigation and dispatch capability. Typical missions include short-to-medium range corporate transport and charter hops within the continental US, leveraging the airframe’s high-speed cruise and transcontinental-but-light-payload range. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect its vintage 1979 construction date combined with TFE731 turbofan support and avionics retrofits that influence inspection cycles and parts sourcing.
Model & Market Context
The Learjet 35A occupies a performance niche as a light, high-speed, high-altitude corporate jet, offering cruise speeds near 436 kts and flight levels up to 45,000 ft, suitable for rapid point-to-point business missions. Competing models historically include other light business jets with similar mission profiles; buyer and charter demand tends to favor examples with upgraded avionics and well-documented maintenance, factors that directly affect resale value. For this airframe, the combination of a corporate owner, common TFE731 engine family, and typical Pro Line/UNS-1M avionics retrofits are important resale and maintenance considerations for prospective operators.
