RADAR ESTIMATE
What N16CS is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Learjet 60 on its own yet, so this borrows the Cessna Citation XLS+ curve, scales it to N16CS's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N16CS
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This airframe, tail number N16CS, is a 1997-built Learjet 60 manufactured by Learjet Inc, serial 60-098. It is owned by Aircraft Guaranty Corp Trustee, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US and is registered in the US. Notable registry and ownership actions are limited to the publicly supplied trustee ownership; no other transfers or operator entries are provided in the available data.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin of N16CS is configured in a typical executive 7-8 passenger layout with a forward galley, club seating, and an aft lavatory, while the aircraft is certified for up to 11 seats per its registration. Avionics are listed as Collins Pro Line 4 as typical for the type, though the data notes that some airframes may have been upgraded or retrofitted; no specific upgrade history is provided for this airframe. Typical mission profiles for this airframe and equipment package would include executive point-to-point transport and charter hops within the aircraft’s 2,418 nm range and high-speed cruise of 436 kts, exploiting the type’s long-range light business jet capabilities. Maintenance considerations follow those of in-production Learjet 60 airframes with twin PW305A engines and systems common to the Collins Pro Line 4 suite.
Model & Market Context
The Learjet 60 occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speeds and a service ceiling to 51,000 ft paired with transcontinental range in many mission profiles. Competing models in the era encompass other late-1990s light midsize jets; buyers and charter operators typically seek the Learjet 60 for speed and climb performance rather than the largest cabin volume.
