N500M

This airframe, registered as N500M, is a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 built in 1993 with serial number 5480. The aircraft is owned by CFC LLC, an LLC based in Bloomington, IN, United States, and is operated under a US registration. The Challenger has a typical valuation of $5,300,000, reflecting its age, equipment fit and market positioning for mid-size long-range business jets. Notable registry actions include its continued US registration under the named LLC, with ownership and operational control centered in Bloomington, Indiana.

The aircraft’s cabin is configured in a typical executive layout for 10–12 pax but can be outfitted to higher seat counts depending on customer requirements; the data notes a forward galley and an aft lavatory as part of the installed fit. Avionics are the typical Challenger 604 fit of Collins Pro Line 4, supporting standard navigation, communications and flight management tasks for long-range executive flight profiles. With a long-range capability of 4,033 nm and a cruise of 459 kts, this specific airframe is suited to transcontinental and near-international missions under its US registry, operated from its Bloomington-linked ownership. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with Challenger 604 norms, including engine program participation and Garmin/Collins avionics support pathways; operator-level decisions can influence cabin refit scope and seating density.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 occupies a mid-size, long-range business jet niche, offering robust range and cabin comfort relative to peers. Competing models typically include other 1990s-era midsize business jets with similar mission capability. Buyer and charter demand for a 1993 Challenger with Collins Pro Line 4 and CF34-3B engines will weigh heavily on maintenance history, avionics status and cabin configuration; these factors also drive resale and operating cost considerations for an airframe valued at $5,300,000.
