N450RH

This article covers the specific Challenger airframe bearing tail number N450RH, a 2009-built example with manufacturer serial number 5809. The jet was built by Bombardier Inc. as a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605 and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded as registered to HAWK HOOD LLC, an LLC based in Tampa, FL, US; the listed market valuation for this airframe is $11,427,857. Operational records indicate a typical executive configuration and registry seating that may differ from common in-service layouts.

The airframe is commonly outfitted in a typical executive layout with two flight crew and roughly nine passenger seats in service, though the official registry lists 22 seats, indicating flexibility between corporate interior fits and maximum certified seating. Avionics are typically the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, providing integrated flight management, navigation, and communications capabilities consistent with business-jet operations. With a long-range capability of 4,000 nm and cruise speed near 470 kts, this specific Challenger is suited for transcontinental and transoceanic executive missions from its operator base in Tampa, FL. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow the Challenger 605 program norms, particularly attention to the GE CF34-3B engine shop visits and avionics support for Pro Line 21 systems.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605 occupies the large-cabin business jet niche, offering extended-range transcontinental performance and a relatively high cabin capacity compared with light and midsize competitors. Typical competitors include other large-cabin types offering similar range and speed; buyer demand often centers on corporate operators and charter fleets seeking 4,000 nm capability and comfortable cabin layouts. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2009 airframe hinge on engine cycle status, Pro Line 21 avionics condition, and interior refurbishment needs, all of which affect market valuation around the listed $11,427,857.
