N27173

This airframe, registered as N27173, is a Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) built in 1997 with manufacturer serial number 7173. It is owned by WELLS FARGO TRUST CO NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, reflecting an ownership structure commonly used for leased or financed regional aircraft. Operator and home base information: Not published. Notable registry actions: Not published. Valuation and current condition highlights: Not published.

The airframe is configured with a single-class high-density regional cabin typically seating 50–55 passengers, here listed as 55 seats, optimized for short to medium regional sectors. Avionics fit follows the common CRJ-200 outfitting with a Collins Pro Line 4 suite (typical CRJ-200 fit), supporting airline-style operational procedures and regional navigation/communication needs. With a 1,700 nm range and cruise near 424 kts, this specific CRJ-200LR is suited to high-frequency regional airline or charter missions linking secondary hubs and primary airports within continental ranges. Maintenance considerations align with CF34-3B1 engine support and the legacy CRJ-200 airframe fleet programs; detailed maintenance status and ferry or overhaul history: Not published.

The Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) occupies the high-density regional jet niche, offering 50–55 seat capacity with long-runway performance to FL410 (41,000 ft) and a common business model for regional carriers, charter operators, and leased fleets. Competing aircraft in its vintage class include other 50-seat regional jets; demand is driven by short-to-medium stage lengths where speed and frequency outweigh larger capacity economics. For this specific airframe, ownership by a financial trustee suggests placement in lease or asset-backed financing markets, and resale or remarketing considerations typically focus on airframe hours, CF34-3B1 engine cycles, and avionics condition (Collins Pro Line 4) for continued regional airline operations.
