About this aircraft

The Learjet 35A is a legendary light jet—fast, capable for its size, and widely used in charter, medevac, and special missions from the 1970s onward.

Honeywell TFE731 engines and the classic Lear wing made it a workhorse through the 1990s, and many remain active with avionics and interior upgrades. The cabin stays compact Lear-style, trading stand-up comfort for speed and operating simplicity.

One of the most important classic Lears still seen in real operations and empty-leg markets.
