About
Freeman Jet
A rare aircraft in careful hands
Freeman Jet is the owner and steward of the Howard 500, registration N500LN — one of the rarest surviving examples of this exceptional twin-engine executive transport. The aircraft has been in the care of Freeman Jet and is available to a qualified party who will appreciate its pedigree and maintain it accordingly.
The Howard 500 represents the pinnacle of postwar executive aviation — a pressurized, twin-engine transport built on the bones of the Lockheed Ventura, powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radials, and finished to a standard that rivaled the finest corporate aircraft of its era.
Freeman Jet invites serious inquiries from qualified individuals and institutions. All inquiries are handled with discretion.
Provenance
A documented history
N500LN carries a well-documented history from its original construction through its years in executive service. The aircraft's logbooks, records, and maintenance history are available to qualified prospective parties upon request.
The Howard 500 type was produced in limited numbers and few examples survive in airworthy condition. N500LN is among the most complete and well-preserved of the surviving fleet.
