N36VV

This airframe, registered as N36VV, is a 1997-built example of the Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 with manufacturer listed as Canadair Ltd (Bombardier Aerospace) and serial number 5338. The aircraft is recorded as owned by REDGATE PARTNERS LLC of Whittier, California, and is operated from a US base with US registration. Notable registry and ownership history include its current ownership by REDGATE PARTNERS LLC, reflecting a stable single-corporate ownership profile. The listed market valuation for this airframe is $5,000,000, consistent with mature 604s showing moderate residual value dependent on maintenance status and avionics fit.

This Challenger 604, serial 5338, is outfitted in an executive cabin configured for a 10–12 passenger layout with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, and is certificated to 22 seats for regulatory purposes. The avionics suite installed is the typical Collins Pro Line 4 fit for 604s, supporting long-range corporate and charter mission avionics requirements. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include transcontinental and transoceanic-range executive transport given its 4,033 nm range and high cruise speed; operations are well suited to corporate owner-operator use or charter services based from its California home base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would focus on CF34 engine support and tracking of avionics upgrades given the Pro Line 4 baseline.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 occupies a mid-heavy business jet niche, offering long-range capability, a high-altitude ceiling of 41,000 ft, and solid cruise performance at 459 kts. Competing models are other long-range corporate jets from the late-1990s and early-2000s; buyer demand typically favors well-maintained airframes with updated avionics and documented maintenance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe include CF34-3B engine shop visit history, the value impact of the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, and overall completion condition, factors that inform its $5,000,000 valuation.
