Model & Market Context
This entry documents the specific Bombardier Challenger 604 airframe bearing registration N429WG, serial number 5341, delivered in 1997. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by LAUFER WAYNE L, an individual based in Fort Myers, Florida, who is the recorded operator/home base contact for this airframe. The aircraft's market valuation is listed at $6,000,000, reflecting its mature status within the mid-size corporate jet sector and the typical condition profile for late-1990s Challenger 604 examples. No other registry actions are published beyond the current individual ownership and U.S. registration.
The Challenger 604 airframe N429WG is configured with a 22-seat cabin capacity, consistent with high-density or corporate shuttle interior arrangements found in this model; specific cabin fit details for this airframe are not published beyond seat count. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft, given its 3,756 nm range and 459 kts cruise speed, include transcontinental and longer regional hops operated from its Fort Myers base, supporting private, corporate or charter operations under individual ownership. Avionics and interior equipment specifics are not published for this serial, though operational considerations for the type include support for twin GE CF34 engine maintenance cycles and the airframe’s established maintenance programs within Bombardier support networks.
The Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) occupies a mid-size, transcontinental business jet niche, offering higher payload and cabin volume compared with light jets while competing against models such as certain Gulfstream G150/G200 and large-cabin heavy light-corporate types. Buyers and charter operators value the 604 for its range, comfortable cabin and proven airframe, while maintenance and resale considerations for a 1997-built example center on engine shop visits for GE CF34 series powerplants and remaining structural/component life with a current estimated value of $6,000,000.
