N507FX

This entry covers airframe N507FX, a factory-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500 completed in 2023 with serial number 20947. The aircraft is owned by the corporation SEMPRA ENERGY, based in Cleveland, OH, US, and is U.S.-registered (registration: US). Delivered new to corporate service in 2023, the airframe presents as a current-model Challenger 3500 with an estimated market value of $25,900,000 and is configured and maintained for executive transport under corporate operation.

The airframe is configured in a typical 8-place executive layout with a forward galley, club seating in the main cabin, and an aft lavatory, reflecting corporate transport priorities for comfort and short-term meeting capability. Avionics are fitted with Collins Pro Line 21/Bombardier advanced flight deck equipment featuring four large displays, autothrottle, and an optional head-up display (HUD) capability, supporting precise flight operations and reduced pilot workload. Operated from the owner’s home base in Cleveland, OH, the aircraft’s 3,400 nm range and 442-knot cruise make it suitable for transcontinental U.S. missions and limited transborder trips; typical mission profiles include executive transport, rapid point-to-point business travel, and repositioning flights to company facilities. Maintenance considerations follow factory schedules for the HTF7350 series engines and modern Pro Line avionics support.

The Challenger 3500 family occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, balancing cabin comfort, range, and runway performance against competitors in its class. Competing models in this segment include updated Gulfstream entry-level models and late-model Dassault and Bombardier variants; demand among corporate buyers remains steady for late-production 3500 airframes. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific serial reflect advantages of a 2023 build with modern avionics and current-engine specification, which typically support stronger retained value and straightforward maintenance tracking relative to older airframes.
