N408BF

This article covers airframe N408BF, a business jet built in 2003 as serial number 5561. The airframe is a Bombardier Challenger 604 manufactured by Bombardier Inc and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to RIDGE CREST LEASING LLC, an LLC based in Stamford, CT, US, and the current title and registry reflect that leasing entity; notable registration activity includes its listing under that lessor. The aircraft carries an estimated market valuation of $6,000,000, with condition and configuration consistent with a typical nine-place executive fit.

The cabin of N408BF is outfitted in a two-zone executive layout featuring a forward double-club and an aft divan/club in a typical nine-place executive fit, providing flexible seating for corporate transport. Avionics are reported as Collins Pro Line Fusion, supporting modern flight-deck capabilities and mission flexibility for long-range business operations. With a design range of 4,000 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, the aircraft commonly serves transcontinental and some transoceanic city-pair missions under lease or corporate operator arrangements based from its lessor’s location in Stamford, CT. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow Challenger 604 fleet practices, driven by the CF34-3B engine type and the avionics retrofit common to this series.

The Bombardier Challenger 604 occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering intercontinental capability with a nine-seat executive interior in this example. Competing models in its class include older large-cabin types from Gulfstream and Dassault, and buyer demand for well-equipped, lower-hour Challenger 604s remains steady among charter operators and corporate lessors. Resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine CF34-3B status, avionics fit such as the Collins Pro Line Fusion installation, and overall completion condition—factors that influence the current $6,000,000 valuation for N408BF.
