N359VJ

This entry covers airframe N359VJ, a 2022-built Bombardier business jet, serial number 20904, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, and is registered in the US; this trustee ownership is recorded as the current title holder. The airframe's condition and market position are reflected in an estimated value of $26,700,000, consistent with a relatively new, low-time example of its type. Notable registry actions include corporate trustee registration in Salt Lake City, UT, indicating the airframe is held for institutional or lien purposes rather than direct private operation.

This specific Challenger 350 airframe is outfitted in an 8-place executive layout with forward galley and belted aft lavatory, configured for executive transport and short to mid‑range corporate missions. Avionics fit is consistent with factory or typical retrofit standards for the model, listed as Collins Pro Line 21 (typical), supporting advanced navigation, communications, and flight management functions appropriate for business operations. With a cruise of 459 kts and a practical range of 3,169 nm, typical missions for this airframe would include transcontinental business travel and regional international hops from its Salt Lake City base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow the Challenger 350 program norms, with attention to HTF-series engine shop visit schedules and pro‑line avionics support.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 occupies the light-heavy business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, range and runway performance compared to light jets and larger midsize platforms. Competitors in this performance band include later-model super-midsize and high‑performance light jets, but the Challenger 350 is often chosen for its cabin volume and operational flexibility. For buyers and operators, resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine hours on the Honeywell AS907-2-1A pair, avionics pedigree such as the Collins Pro Line 21, and an aircraft age of 2022 that supports a strong near‑term market value.
