N520JG

This airframe, registered as N520JG, is a 2002-built Bombardier CRJ-700 (CL-600-2C10) manufactured by Bombardier Inc. and marked with manufacturer serial number 10052. The aircraft is owned by JOE GIBBS RACING LLC, an LLC based in Huntersville, NC, US, and is operated in a team/charter role rather than scheduled airline service. The registration is recorded as US, and operator reports indicate the type is typically used for crew and team transport; the airframe’s configuration and maintenance status are aligned with VIP/charter usage rather than a factory airline layout. There are no public notes of major registry actions beyond U.S. registration; its role within a motorsports team’s transport fleet is the defining operational characteristic.

The cabin is operated in an operator-configured VIP/charter layout used for team transport, with operator reports indicating approximately 60 seats fitted for crew moves while the factory airline layout is certificated up to 80 seats. Avionics fit is consistent with the series, typically a Rockwell Collins ProLine 4 suite, though individual operator-specific equipment fit is possible. Typical missions for this specific airframe focus on regional charters and dedicated team transport flights within the continental United States, leveraging the CRJ-700’s short- to medium-range capability and cruise performance. Maintenance and outfitting priorities for this aircraft reflect its role in frequent, scheduled team movements and the need for reliable dispatch availability.

The Bombardier CRJ-700 (CL-600-2C10) occupies a regional jet niche offering efficient short- to medium-range performance with competitive cruise speed and a high operational ceiling. Competing models in this class include other regional jets and smaller narrowbody conversions; buyers and charter operators value the CRJ-700 for its seating flexibility (factory-certificated up to 80 seats) and established support infrastructure. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 2002 build year and operator-specific VIP conversions, which can affect marketability relative to standard airline-configured examples.
