N221BW

This entry covers airframe N221BW, a 1995-built Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3R, constructor serial number 5188 manufactured by CANADAIR LTD. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by LONG TIME FLYERS LLC of Houston, TX, US, which functions as its operator/home base on public records. There are no additional published registry actions or ownership transfers beyond the current listed LLC ownership. Reported condition and valuation highlights are not published for this specific airframe.

The individual aircraft listing describes a cabin reconfigured for executive use, reported as a 10-passenger executive layout with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory (charter listing). Typical missions for this airframe align with medium-to-long-range executive and charter operations, leveraging the Challenger 601-3R’s long-range capability and transcontinental cruise performance. With the airframe based in Houston, TX, operator patterns likely include regional business shuttles and U.S. domestic charter sectors; specific avionics fit and maintenance history for this serial are not published. The combination of forward galley and enclosed aft lavatory supports passenger comfort on multihour flights and introduces routine maintenance considerations typical of executive interiors.

The airframe is a member of the Bombardier Challenger 601 family, represented here by the CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3R, a twin-engine business jet positioned for long-range executive transport and charter service. Powered by the CF34-3A1 engines producing 9,140 lbf thrust apiece, this variant targets operators requiring transcontinental capability with moderate cruise speed and a high service ceiling. Competing models in this performance niche include other large-cabin business jets offering similar range and payload; buyer and charter demand tends to focus on cabin layout, maintenance history, and avionics upgrades. For resale and maintenance planning, considerations specific to this airframe include engine time, interior refurb status, and any undocumented registry or refit activity, none of which are published for this serial.
