Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N12FD is a 2018-built Bombardier Challenger 650 (serial number 6121) manufactured by Bombardier Inc. It is owned by N12FD LLC, an LLC based in Memphis, TN, US, and is registered in the United States. The type has a market valuation listed at $18,000,000, reflecting a late-model Challenger 650 in executive configuration. The entry on registry shows a single corporate owner based in Memphis, with no publicly listed ownership transfers noted in the supplied data.
The aircraft is outfitted in a typical executive 9–12 passenger layout with a forward galley and options for forward and aft lavatory arrangements, consistent with its role as a corporate transport. Avionics are fitted with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, with the 650 model offering Pro Line Fusion / Vision flight deck upgrade options; this airframe carries the Pro Line 21 fit as supplied. Typical missions for this aircraft profile include transcontinental and transoceanic executive transport enabled by a maximum range of 4,000 nm and cruise speeds near 424 kts; operation from a corporate base in Memphis, TN supports both domestic and long-range routings. Maintenance considerations for the platform generally center on CF34-3B engine time and avionics upgrades, and the airframe’s late build year (2018) contributes to its current market valuation of $18,000,000.
The Bombardier Challenger 650 family occupies a mid-to-large cabin, long-range executive jet niche, offering combinations of range, cabin size, and operating economics attractive to corporations and charter operators. Its competitors typically include late-model heavy light-cabins and large-cabin business jets that trade cabin amenities for similar range and speed. Buyer demand often focuses on cabin configuration, avionics standard (e.g., Pro Line 21 versus upgraded Fusion/Vision), and engine life; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on CF34-3B engine status and the aircraft’s relatively recent 2018 serial 6121 build date.
