N117AA

This entry covers a specific airframe, N117AA, a Bombardier Challenger 601-3A (CL-600-2B16) built by CANADAIR LTD (Bombardier) in 1990, serial number 5060. The airframe is owned by CORSAIR TWO LLC, an LLC based in Hillsboro, OR, US, and is registered in the US. Registry and market records list a valuation of $1,500,000, reflecting its age and configuration; no further certified modifications or transaction history are published here. Charter and broker listings reference a reduced executive configuration relative to its FAA certificated layout, and the aircraft’s condition is summarized by its stated valuation.

The Challenger 601-3A airframe N117AA is reported in charter and broker sources as being outfitted with a 10‑place executive cabin for its typical marketing configuration, while FAA certification lists seating for 22, indicating a common dual-use registration and interior arrangement for passenger or corporate missions. Typical missions for this airframe class and configuration include medium-range executive transport and charter operations within the contiguous United States and to nearby international destinations, leveraging a 3,430 nm range and a cruise of 424 kts. Based at the owner’s location in Hillsboro, Oregon, the aircraft’s operations profile would be consistent with charter and corporate use; maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include continued support for the GE CF34-3A2 engines and aging-airframe inspections typical of 1990-build Challengers.

The Bombardier Challenger 601-3A (CL-600-2B16) family occupies a mid-size, long-range corporate/business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with robust cabin volume relative to light jets. Competing models in similar mission roles include later-generation light-medium bizjets with modern avionics and engine efficiency; by contrast, a 1990 Challenger with GE CF34-3A2 powerplants will command attention in the resale market for operating economics, avionics upgrade status, and interior refurbishment needs. The listed value of $1,500,000 for N117AA reflects typical market depreciation for airframes of this vintage and the buyer demand focused on cost-conscious operators or those seeking platforms for dedicated charter service.
