Model & Market Context
This airframe, registration N627AF, is a 2002-built Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 with serial number 5548. The manufacturer is listed as Bombardier Inc. and the airframe is registered in the United States to AMERICAN FIDELITY CORP, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US. The entry in the registry shows a corporate ownership title with certification for up to 22 seats, while typical executive configurations for the type more commonly seat 10–12 passengers. Ownership is recorded under a single corporate owner in Oklahoma City, and there are no additional publicized operator transfers or notable registry actions for this specific tail.
The cabin of this particular Challenger 604 is described as a typical two-zone executive layout; while common executive fits for the model seat 10–12 passengers, the registry lists certification for 22 seats, reflecting its certified maximum capacity. Typical missions for this airframe include transcontinental and transcontinental-plus range executive transport given a published range of 4,027 nm and a cruise speed around 459 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Oklahoma City, OK. Avionics fit is noted as the common Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 installation for the model; later derivative fleets sometimes upgrade to Pro Line 21, but this airframe is associated with the typical Pro Line 4 fit. Maintenance considerations align with twin CF34 powerplants and corporate operation requirements under U.S. registry.
The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 family occupies a mid-size long-range executive jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with comfortable cabin volumes and two CF34-series turbofans. Competing models historically include other late‑generation midsize jets in speed and range, with buyer and charter demand favoring well-equipped, low-cycle examples. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial include the CF34-3B engine maintenance profile and avionics era, where Pros Line 4-equipped airframes may see added value if upgraded to Pro Line 21 or similarly modern systems.
