N1ST 2011 Learjet 45XR

Overview

This entry covers the specific Learjet 45XR airframe bearing U.S. registration N1ST, a 2011 production example with manufacturer's serial number 429. Built by Learjet Inc (Bombardier), the airframe is recorded as owned by Skyship 45XR LLC of Englewood, CO, US, the listed Limited Liability Company operator and home-base entity. Maintenance and valuation notes for this airframe are consistent with mid-life Learjet 45XR examples outfitted for executive transport.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe's twelve-place seating configuration is typical of the Learjet 45XR class, supporting executive transport, small group charter, or corporate shuttle missions; interior specifics for this registration are not published beyond seating count. Avionics fit on the 45XR family generally enables high-altitude, high-speed cruise profiles, allowing this airframe to routinely operate at its listed cruise of 465 kts to destinations within its 1,971 nm range. Based in Englewood, Colorado under Skyship 45XR LLC, the aircraft is likely used on short to mid-range transcontinental missions and point-to-point corporate hops where runway performance and speed are prioritized. As a 2011 build, ongoing maintenance and component tracking align with typical mid-cycle inspections and engine time management for Honeywell TFE731 series powerplants.

Model & Market Context

The Learjet 45XR occupies the light-to-mid-size business jet niche, prized for its combination of high cruise speed, transcontinental range and 51,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models include other light jets offering similar mission capability; buyer demand for well-maintained 45XRs tends to center on cost-conscious operators seeking performance at a lower acquisition cost.
