N457HL

This article covers the specific Canadair Challenger configured as tail number N457HL, a build completed in 1982 with manufacturer serial 1063. The airframe was built by Canadair (Bombardier Aerospace) and is owned by Henry IV LLC, a corporate entity based in Wilmington, DE, US. The jet carries a US registration and has operated under that registry since delivery; corporate ownership and registry details define its administrative home rather than an individual operator. Public valuation or documented condition reports for this particular airframe are not published in the supplied data.

The aircraft features a typical eight- to thirteen-place executive cabin layout with distinct forward and aft seating zones and a private lavatory, suitable for corporate transport and transcontinental missions. With seating for 13, the cabin configuration supports mixed work and rest zones that are common in Challenger 600 series executive fits. Operated under corporate ownership by Henry IV LLC in Wilmington, DE, the jet is appropriately configured for long-range point-to-point business flights within its 2,909 nm capability and cruise at 458 kts. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe reflect its vintage production year (1982) and the ALF 502 powerplants, both factors that influence scheduled overhauls and parts availability.

As a member of the Canadair CL-600 family, the Canadair CL-600-1A11 Challenger 600 occupies the long-range, large-cabin executive jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and a stand-up cabin environment relative to contemporaries. Its twin ALF 502 engines, each rated at 6,970 lbf, deliver performance supporting a 41,000 ft ceiling and the listed cruise speed, characteristics that define its operational envelope. Market and resale considerations for this specific airframe are shaped by its 1982 manufacture date and cumulative maintenance history, factors that commonly influence buyer and charter demand for early-series Challengers.
