Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered N555DF, is a 1993-built Bombardier Challenger 601-3A (CL-600-2B16) with manufacturer serial number 5125, built by Canadair Ltd / Bombardier. It is recorded as owned by KING LEO MANAGEMENT LLC, an LLC based in Beverly Hills, CA, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the aircraft in U.S. registry. The airframe’s configuration is operator-configurable and the listed market valuation for this specific example is $2,000,000. No additional registry actions or prior ownership transfers are published in the supplied data.

The cabin on this Challenger airframe supports typical VIP executive layouts accommodating 10–12 passengers while remaining certificated up to 22 seats; the operator may reconfigure seating within that certification. Avionics fit is airframe-specific but this model commonly carries typical 601-3A suites with reported Collins Pro Line II components and Honeywell FMS elements on similar airframes. Typical missions for this aircraft profile include medium‑ to long‑range corporate transport and charter operations within the continental U.S. and transcontinental sectors enabled by a 3,430 nm range and a cruise near 442 kts. Maintenance considerations focus on the CF34 series turbofans and airframe support consistent with early‑1990s build standards; specific maintenance status and interior outfitting are not published.

The Challenger 601-3A (CL‑600‑2B16) sits in the midsize corporate jet category, offering transcontinental range and a 41,000 ft service ceiling for efficient cruise profiles. It competes in performance and cabin flexibility with other midsize bizjets targeting owner‑operators and charter fleets seeking 10–12 passenger executive comfort while retaining certification for up to 22 seats. Buyer and charter demand for 1990s Challenger airframes is influenced by airframe condition, avionics modernization, and CF34 engine maintenance status; those factors are central to resale considerations reflected in the provided $2,000,000 valuation.
