This airframe, registered as N506FX, is a Bombardier Challenger 3500 identified as Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500, manufacturer Bombardier Inc., built in 2023 with serial number 20941. The aircraft is listed in the US registry under owner FLEXJET LLC, noted as co-owned (fractional) and operated from Cleveland, OH, US; the registry entry records the aircraft as a fractional operator asset rather than a single-owner corporate jet. There are no publicly noted incidents or transfers beyond its initial placement with the fractional operator; its condition is current with a market valuation recorded at $27,200,000. The aircraft remains registered in the US and retains the original factory configuration as delivered.

The cabin for N506FX is documented as a fractional operator executive layout, with the registry listing 8 seats and operator cabin fit typically accommodating 8–10 pax depending on configuration. Avionics are recorded as Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced with a four-large-display advanced flight deck; optional HUD/EVS capability is noted as available on the model. Operated by FLEXJET LLC from Cleveland, the typical missions for this airframe include regional and transcontinental fractional transport where the Challenger 3500’s range of 3,400 nm and cruise of 442 kts enable nonstop city-pair services across continental North America and into the Caribbean. Maintenance considerations for this particular aircraft follow fractional program schedules and Bombardier-supported heavy-check cycles consistent with the model’s factory systems and Honeywell engine support.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500 occupies the super-midsize segment, offering a balance of cabin comfort and transcontinental capability with a ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competitors in its niche include late-model offerings from Gulfstream, Dassault, and Embraer; fractional ownership demand remains strong for this class due to predictable availability and standardized fleet maintenance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its fractional-operator history, factory avionics fit, and the supportability of the Honeywell AS907-2-1A engines, all factors that underpin valuation and program transferability.
