N543BA

This airframe, tail number N543BA, is a 2015-built Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) with manufacturer serial number 6061. The airframe is registered to BOEING CO (a corporation based in Gary, IN, US) and carries a US registration. The aircraft’s operational history on public records shows it as company-owned and reported with a registry seating count that differs from its typical cabin fit. The Challenger is presently valued at $25,000,000, reflecting market condition and its relatively recent build year.

The listed cabin for this airframe is a typical 10–12 passenger executive layout as configured by the company, although registry records show 22 seats on file, indicating an operational configuration or ferry/alternate seating arrangement. Avionics are installed as the Bombardier Vision flight deck with Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced, supporting modern flight management, situational awareness, and business-jet mission capabilities. Typical missions would include transcontinental and long-range executive transport well within the type’s approximately 4,000 nm range and cruise of 459 kts, commonly flown from corporate bases such as the owner’s facility in Gary, IN, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow Challenger 650 fleet practices for CF34-3B MTO engines and Pro Line 21 avionics upgrades and checks as part of scheduled heavy maintenance cycles.

The Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) occupies the large-cabin, long-range corporate jet niche, offering transcontinental capability, a 41,000 ft ceiling and a cabin sized for typical 10–12 executive layouts despite registry variances. Competing models include late-generation Gulfstream G280 and older large-cabin offerings from Dassault and Embraer in similar mission bands. Buyer and charter demand for the Challenger 650 commonly emphasizes cabin comfort, range, and proven operational reliability; resale and maintenance considerations center on CF34 engine lifecycle, avionics modernization (Pro Line 21), and completed maintenance events reflected in the airframe’s valuation.
