N604LL

The airframe bearing tail number N604LL is a Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) built by CANADAIR LTD in 1996, serial 5321, and registered in the US. It is held by VALIAIR LTD CO TRUSTEE, a trust based in Ogden, UT, US, which serves as the primary recorded owner and operational base for the type. The aircraft’s registry entries reflect standard U.S. registration; specific notable registry actions and recent valuation or condition assessments are not published. As a mid-1990s Challenger 604 airframe under trust ownership, the airframe typically appears in corporate or charter operations where continuity of ownership and centralized maintenance records are preferred.

Configured with 22 seats, this specific Challenger 604 airframe is capable of carrying a relatively large passenger complement compared with many business jets of its era, suiting group transport, corporate shuttle, or charter missions. Typical mission profiles consistent with the airframe’s specifications include transcontinental and extended overwater flights within its 4,033 nm range at cruise speeds near 459 kts, operating from its owner’s base in Ogden, UT or other U.S. hubs. Detailed information on the avionics fit and interior finish for this serial is not published; however, operational considerations include the twin GE CF34-3B engines’ maintenance cycles and availability of parts given the airframe’s 1996 manufacture date. The trust ownership model suggests centralized maintenance oversight and stewardship focused on preserving asset utility for charter or corporate use.

The Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) occupies a long-range, large-cabin niche defined by transcontinental capability and relatively high passenger capacity for its class, as reflected in this airframe’s 4,033 nm range and 22-seat layout. With twin GE CF34-3B engines delivering 9,220 lbf each, the type offers a balance of cruise speed and operational ceiling (41,000 ft) suitable for efficient point-to-point corporate and charter missions. Given the airframe’s 1996 manufacture year and trust-based ownership, resale and maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft center on lifecycle engine and avionics upgrades, records continuity, and market demand for large-cabin, long-range pre-owned business jets.
