N16RW

This article covers the specific airframe bearing registration and tail number N16RW, a Canadair-built Bombardier Challenger 600 (CL-600-1A11) delivered in 1981 with manufacturer's serial 1013. The airframe is currently held by corporate owner ALPHA BRAVO CHARLIE 1 CORP of Eastvale, CA, US, and is registered in the US. Maintenance and recent interior work are reflected in a refreshed gray leather cabin completed in 2019; the aircraft is listed with an estimated market value of $1,000,000. The asset record indicates an executive role and corporate operation from a US home base, with avionics and systems described in sales/asset detail.

The cabin of this Challenger 600 is configured in an executive 13‑seat layout with a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory, featuring a gray leather interior that was refreshed in 2019. The forward galley is equipped with a microwave, hot water and coffeemaker, supporting typical short- to mid-range corporate missions and charter operations within the aircraft’s 2,909 nm range and high-cruise performance. Avionics as listed on the sales/asset detail comprise a Collins Pro Line–style fit including ADF Collins ADF-60A, Collins DME-40, Collins TDR-90 transponders, Litton IRS, Honeywell Mark VI EGPWS, and Honeywell Primus 400 weather radar, providing modernized navigation and safety capabilities for continued commercial or corporate use. The corporate owner ALPHA BRAVO CHARLIE 1 CORP anchors the airframe’s operational base in Southern California.

The Bombardier Challenger 600 family occupies the small-to-medium widebody business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and a large cabin relative to contemporaries of its era. With twin Lycoming ALF-502 engines producing 7,500 lbf each and a certification-era design from 1981, competing models include early Gulfstream and Dassault Falcon variants, which may offer different speed or range trade-offs. Buyer and charter demand for older CL-600 airframes typically hinges on updated avionics, interior condition (this airframe’s 2019 refresh is notable), and recurring maintenance expenditures; the listed $1,000,000 value reflects those lifecycle and resale considerations for a 1981-built airframe.
