N518JG

This airframe, registered as N518JG, is a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3R built by Bombardier Inc. in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 5545. The aircraft is owned by JOE GIBBS RACING LLC (a corporation based in Huntersville, NC, US) and carries a United States registration. Manufacturer, year, serial and corporate ownership are the primary public identifiers for this airframe; no additional registry events or transactional history beyond the listed owner are published in the supplied data.

The cabin for this Challenger 601-3R is described in typical form as an 11-passenger executive layout with a forward galley and aft lavatory, though configurations may vary with interior refits; this airframe is reported with that typical executive arrangement. Avionics are commonly fitted with the Honeywell SPZ-8000, which is a standard fit on many 601-3R variants though individual fit can vary by aircraft; the supplied data indicates this common avionics option rather than a specific shop-fit record. Based at Huntersville, North Carolina under corporate ownership, the aircraft’s stated range and cruise performance support medium- to long-range executive transport missions consistent with corporate flight operations.

The Challenger 601-3R is a member of the CL-600 family powered in this instance by CF34-series turbofans, providing a balance of cruising speed and transcontinental range for the mid-size corporate jet sector. The specified cruise speed of 442 kts and range of 3,300 nm place this variant in a performance niche attractive to corporate operators seeking comfortable, long-range executive transport. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe would typically reference CF34-3A engine commonality, avionics fit (Honeywell SPZ-8000 common on 601-3R), and interior refit history, all factors that influence market demand and operator choices.
