N159WH

This article concerns a specific Bombardier Challenger 300 airframe, tail number N159WH, a 2004-built example, serial number 20017. The aircraft is owned by YAS II (US) MOCKINGBIRD LLC, a New York, NY–based corporation, and is registered in the United States. The airframe features the early Challenger 300 configuration and typical avionics fit for its build era; valuation estimates place this individual aircraft at $10,000,000. Notable registry actions for this airframe are limited to its U.S. registration and corporate ownership listing.

The cabin of this specific Challenger 300 is fitted in a typical 8-passenger executive double-club arrangement with a forward galley and an aft enclosed lavatory, offering approximately 930 cu ft of cabin volume and 106 cu ft of external baggage space. Avionics are representative of early Challenger 300 examples, typically the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, with later FMS variants noted as possible upgrades on similar airframes. Operationally, this aircraft’s range and cruise performance support transcontinental U.S. missions and medium-range international charters consistent with corporate and charter operators based out of New York, NY. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow standard Challenger 300 schedules and parts support associated with the HTF7000 powerplant and Pro Line 21 avionics.

The airframe is a member of the Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 family, a super-midsize business jet positioned for corporate and charter operators seeking transcontinental capability with eight-passenger comfort. In the market, the Challenger 300 competes with other super-midsize types offering similar range and cabin size, with buyer demand influenced by engine and avionics condition and completed maintenance history. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2004 airframe typically center on HTF7000 engine life limits, Pro Line 21 avionics support or upgrades, and overall logbook completeness, factors that contribute to the cited $10,000,000 valuation.
