N541BA

The aircraft bearing tail number N541BA is a 2015-built Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650 with manufacturer serial number 6060. This specific airframe is owned by the corporation Boeing Company, registered in the United States and associated with a corporate location in Gary, IN, US; this ownership is notable given Boeing's primary role as an airframer rather than a typical business-jet operator. The Challenger 650 airframe retains a US registration and is visually and technically identifiable by its serial and tail combination. Maintenance status and valuation details for this particular airframe are not published in the supplied data.

This Challenger 650 is fitted with a VIP executive cabin configuration and a layout typical of corporate fits accommodating 8–12 pax, despite a maximum seating capacity of 22, allowing for flexible combinations of meeting, lounge, and sleeping arrangements in VIP service. Avionics are provided by Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced, supporting modern flight management, navigation, and integrated systems monitoring for longer-range corporate missions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include transcontinental and transoceanic corporate transport enabled by a 4,000 nm range and high-speed cruise of 461 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Gary, IN, US, or other major business aviation hubs. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the GE CF34-3B turbofan pair and Pro Line 21 avionics common to Challenger 600-series support networks.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650 occupies the super-midsize corporate jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with comfortable cabin space and modern avionics. Its direct competitors include other super-midsize platforms that balance range near 4,000 nm and cruise speeds around 460 kts, affecting buyer and charter demand for long-range executive missions. From a maintenance and resale standpoint, the Challenger 650’s CF34 engine family and Pro Line 21 avionics are well-supported, though corporate ownership patterns—such as ownership by Boeing Company—can influence perceived usage history and lifecycle expectations for prospective operators or buyers.
