The aircraft is owned by BANKS LEE C TRUSTEE, listed as a trustee/co-owned entity based in Cleveland, OH, US, and is recorded on the US civil registry.

This airframe is configured in a two-zone executive cabin with a typical eight-place executive layout, featuring a forward four-place club and an aft four-place club as commonly specified by operators. The installed avionics package is described as an advanced integrated flight deck with autothrottle, dual FMS, synthetic vision, and optional head-up display (HUD) and enhanced vision system (EVS); the installation follows Pro Line–class avionics concepts, with manufacturer fitment varying by operator specification. Operationally, the aircraft’s 3,400 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed position it for transcontinental and limited intercontinental executive missions; maintenance considerations align with twin‑engine business jet practices and factory support for the Challenger 3500 series.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500 occupies a performance niche as a super-midsize, long-range business jet within Bombardier’s Challenger family, offering transcontinental capability and contemporary avionics. Competing models in the segment typically include other super-midsize business jets from major manufacturers; buyer and charter demand is driven by cabin comfort, range, and advanced flight systems. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2024 airframe reflect current-production attributes, factory support pathways, and the aircraft’s valuation at $26,950,000 in ownership records.
