Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N604MB is a Canadair-built business jet, a Canadair Challenger 601-3A (CL-600-2B16) manufactured by Canadair Ltd in 1992 with serial number 5115. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by CHALLENGER 601 HOLDINGS LLC, a corporation based in Missoula, MT, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this specific aircraft. The record indicates standard U.S. registration status and a straightforward ownership history highlighted by its current corporate ownership in Missoula; no prior ownership events are published in the supplied data. Condition and market valuation details are not published for this specific airframe.
This individual Challenger 601-3A is configured to accommodate 22 seats, reflecting a high-density or corporate shuttle interior typical of late-model Challengers prepared for charter or corporate transport. With a maximum cruise of 443 kts and a ferry/mission range of 3,300 nm, typical operations for this airframe would include transcontinental U.S. missions and medium-haul international hops when operating from its Missoula, MT base. The twin CF34-3A series turbofans provide a certified service ceiling of 41,000 ft, enabling efficient high-altitude cruise and favorable fuel-burn characteristics for the type. Specific avionics fit, cabin layout details, and recent maintenance history are not published in the provided data.
The Canadair Challenger 601-3A (CL-600-2B16) sits in the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering a balance of passenger capacity and intercontinental reach exemplified by this airframe’s 3,300 nm range and 22-seat capability. Powered by twin CF34 series engines with 9,140 lbf thrust each, the model competes with other large-cabin types for corporate shuttle and charter roles, where buyer and charter demand often focuses on cabin space, reliability, and operating economics. For this specific airframe, resale and maintenance considerations would align with typical Challenger 601-3A service items, airframe age (manufactured in 1992) and any differences driven by interior configuration and upkeep under CHALLENGER 601 HOLDINGS LLC ownership.
