N243QS

This airframe, marked N243QS, is a 2020-built Bombardier Challenger 650 (serial number 6157) manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporate entity based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and carries United States registration. The airframe’s provenance reflects operator-backed fleet acquisition rather than individual private ownership, with registry entries indicating corporate stewardship and fleet-assignment status. Valued at approximately $21,000,000, the example presents as a late-model Challenger 650 with contemporary avionics and a typical corporate-configured cabin that aligns with fractional or charter operator missions.

The cabin for this airframe conforms to a typical executive Challenger 650 fit: a 10–12-place executive layout noted as standard, arranged in two cabin zones with a forward galley and an aft lavatory and an estimated cabin volume of approximately 1,146 cu ft. Avionics are the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced suite, incorporating large-format displays, dual FMS, Synthetic Vision System (SVS), and MultiScan radar, supporting sophisticated navigation, situational awareness and reduced-crew operational capability. With a maximum range of 4,000 nm and a cruise speed near 460 kts, the aircraft is well-suited to transcontinental and intercontinental executive missions operated from the owner’s Oklahoma City base or deployed within a fractional/charter network. Maintenance considerations reflect typical CF34-3B engine support and Challenger-series airframe logistics under corporate fleet management.

The Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) occupies the large-cabin, long-range light business jet niche, offering cabin volume and comfort competitive with other large-cabin types. Its performance—4,000 nm range, 460 kts cruise, and 41,000 ft ceiling—targets buyers seeking transcontinental capability without stepping to ultra-long-range platforms. Market demand is driven by fractional operators and charter firms; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize CF34 engine support, Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle, and fleet records typical of corporate-owned examples such as N243QS.
