N561AV

This airframe, registered as N561AV, is a 2001-built Bombardier CRJ-200 (manufacturer designation CL-600-2B19, variant CRJ-200LR) carrying manufacturer serial number 7561. The aircraft is recorded in ownership by WELLS FARGO TRUST CO NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Columbia, MD, US, and is registered in the US. No public record of other commercial operator changes or notable registry actions is published beyond the trust ownership entry. The airframe’s condition is consistent with regional airline configuration standards for the type and reflects typical mid-life maintenance and value profiles for early-2000s CRJ-200s.

The airframe is configured in a regional airline cabin layout at approximately 50–55 passenger seats, consistent with its CRJ-200LR variant role. The installed avionics complement is typical for the type, with a Collins Pro Line 4 suite fitted in line with standard CRJ-200 operator configurations. Operationally the CRJ-200LR is used on short- to medium-range regional routes where its 1,700 nm range and 55-seat capacity balance frequency and economics; this specific airframe would therefore be suited to similar point-to-point regional services or wet-lease/dedicated regional operator deployment. Maintenance considerations for this tail number align with CF34-3B1 engine support items and aging regional-fleet corrosion/airframe service life items expected for a 2001-built regional jet.

The Bombardier CRJ-200 family occupies a performance niche as a 50–55-seat regional jet offering high cruise speed (here 424 kts) and transcontinental-range-capable subfleet flexibility. Competing models historically include shortened Embraer ERJ/190 family types and earlier regional jets with similar seating; demand is driven by regional carriers and charter operators seeking frequency over capacity. For resale and maintenance, common considerations include CF34 engine support, avionics upgrade paths from Pro Line 4, and market depreciation for early-2000s airframes; the trustee ownership structure suggests asset management through financial custody rather than direct airline operation.
