N604JJ

This entry covers airframe N604JJ, a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 built by Bombardier Inc in 2005 with manufacturer serial number 5635. The jet is recorded as owned by SOP EQUIPMENT LLC (c/o Jet Aviation Flight Services), based in Teterboro, NJ, US, an arrangement that places operational oversight with a corporate flight services provider. The aircraft is registered in the US and appears in records with an operator-specific interior configuration and valuation notes indicating a market value of $6,300,000. No other public registry actions are cited here beyond the current corporate ownership and the 2005 build year.

The airframe carries a typical two-zone executive cabin layout commonly fitted for 10–12 VIP passengers, though the FAA record lists up to 22 seats reflecting operator-specific configurations and the airframe’s certification basis. Avionics are listed as the typical Rockwell Collins Pro Line fit, which is commonly upgradeable by operators to meet specific communications, navigation, or surveillance requirements. Based out of Teterboro under corporate ownership, the aircraft is well suited to transcontinental and transborder executive missions enabled by a 4,033 nm range and cruise speed near 459 kts, making it useful for high-utilization charter or corporate transport. Maintenance considerations follow typical Challenger 604 practices, with emphasis on CF34 series engine support and avionics lifecycle management when operator upgrades are performed.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 occupies the super-midsize executive jet niche, offering long-range capability and cabin comfort for transcontinental missions. Its performance—illustrated by a 41,000 ft ceiling and a 4,033 nm range—competes with contemporary platform alternatives from Gulfstream and Dassault in the used market. Buyer and charter demand for 2000s-vintage 604s tends to focus on cabin configuration, avionics modernization potential, and engine maintenance status; a 2005 airframe with documented corporate management and a $6,300,000 value will be evaluated against those criteria. Resale and upkeep considerations hinge on CF34 spare support, Pro Line avionics upgrade pathways, and the provenance associated with corporate, operator-managed aircraft.
