N179RP

The airframe bearing tail number N179RP is a 2024 build of the Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500, serial 21000, completed by Bombardier Inc. in 2024. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by 179 RP LLC, an LLC based in Melrose Park, Illinois, reflecting a single-entity ownership record that associates the jet with a fixed operator/home base region in the Chicago area. Valuation and condition notes list this individual aircraft at $26,700,000, indicating a current-market assessment consistent with new-production Challenger 3500 examples. Registered to 179 RP LLC upon delivery captures the principal recorded registry action for this specific airframe.

The factory baseline cabin specification for the Challenger 3500 supports a manufacturer baseline of up to 10‑passenger executive cabin; this specific airframe is fitted in a typical operator layout of 8 seats, likely arranged in club and forward‑divan configurations to support executive transport missions. The flight deck is equipped with an advanced four‑large‑display Pro Line 21 / advanced‑style baseline avionics suite with autothrottle; optional HUD and EVS capabilities exist as factory options for enhanced ops but are not individually itemized for this serial. With a 3,400 nm range and a 459 kt cruise, typical missions for this aircraft include transcontinental and shorter international sectors operated from its Melrose Park, IL connection, emphasizing point‑to‑point corporate and charter roles. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with Honeywell HTF7350 engine support and Bombardier line maintenance programs for new-build Challenger 3500s.

The BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500 occupies the super‑midsize/corporate long‑range segment for fixed‑wing multi‑engine business jets, offering a combination of range, speed, and cabin comfort tailored to owner/operators seeking transcontinental capability. Competing platforms in its performance niche include other super‑midsize business jets offering similar range and speed; demand typically derives from corporate flight departments and charter operators valuing modern avionics and a high‑comfort cabin. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize manufacturer support, HTF7350 engine maintenance programs, and the aircraft’s recent build year and clean single‑owner registry, which are positive factors for liquidity and lifecycle cost predictability.
