RADAR ESTIMATE
What N18RA 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 N18RA's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N18RA
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This article describes the specific airframe registered as N18RA, a 1999-built Learjet 35A with manufacturer serial number 35A-513. The airframe is owned by Royal Air Freight Inc, a corporation based in Waterford, MI, US, and is registered in the US registry; registry lists 10 seats. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published for this tail beyond the current corporate ownership and the seating declaration.
Operations & Cabin
The aircraft carries a typical executive interior noted as a Typical 8-10 place executive layout (club/divan possible); registry lists 10 seats, indicating a flexible cabin arrangement for corporate transport or on-demand charter missions. Avionics fit and specific interior refurbishment history are not published for this airframe; therefore precise communication, navigation and mission equipment cannot be stated here. Operationally, a Learjet 35A with the stated range of 1,930 nm and cruise of 436 kts is generally used for short- to medium-range corporate missions, air freight shuttles at lighter loads, or medical/air-ambulance conversions depending on operator configuration; Royal Air Freight Inc’s base in Waterford, MI, suggests regional operations centered in the US Midwest. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe reflect typical lifecycle issues for late-1990s Learjet 35A examples, with value influenced by engine cycles, avionics standard, and cabin condition.
Model & Market Context
As a member of the Learjet 35/36 family, the Learjet 35A occupies the light, high-speed business-jet niche, prized for high cruise speed and altitude capability up to 45,000 ft. Competing models in the era and resale market include other light jets offering similar mission profiles; buyer and charter demand for a 1999 Learjet 35A typically hinges on engine condition (Honeywell TFE731 series), avionics standard, and interior refurbishment.
