N15TF

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N15TF, a 2023-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 (Challenger 3500) with serial 20942. The aircraft is owned by TAYLOR FRESH FOODS INC, a corporation based in Salinas, CA, US, and is registered in the United States for corporate operations. The airframe’s build year and recent manufacture position it among the newest examples of the type, with an estimated current value of $25,900,000 reflecting contemporary condition and market placement. No other registry changes or notable incidents are published for this specific airframe.

The cabin of N15TF is fitted in an 8-seat VIP executive layout featuring double-club seating with divan options, configured for corporate transport and executive missions. The avionics fit includes an advanced integrated flight deck with autothrottle, optional HUD/EVS capability, four large displays and modern FMS capability, supporting single-pilot or two-pilot operational profiles depending on company policy. Typical mission profiles for this airframe are long-range intercity and transcontinental corporate trips consistent with its 3,400 nm range and high-speed cruise of 447 kts, operating routinely from the owner’s Salinas, CA base for business connectivity. Maintenance considerations for this late-build Challenger 3500 include standard HTF7350-family engine support and modern avionics lifecycle planning inherent to recently manufactured executive jets.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 (Challenger 3500) occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range, high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling suited to efficient long-range corporate travel. Competing models in class include other super-midsize types that emphasize cabin comfort and range; buyer and charter demand tends to favor late-production airframes like this 2023 example for lower remaining maintenance burdens and updated avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for N15TF reflect common factors for the type: HTF-series engine support, avionics upgrade pathways (HUD/EVS options), and market valuation near $25.9M for a recent-build, low-cycle corporate-configured aircraft.
