N64JS

This entry covers airframe N64JS, a Bombardier-built business jet completed in 1992 with manufacturer serial number 5119. The airframe is a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A registered in the US and owned by the corporation CELEBRATION TV AMERICA INC of Houston, TX, US, which serves as the listed operator/home base. Notable registry actions: Not published. Public records identify its configuration and systems through reported listings rather than manufacturer supplements; condition and valuation details beyond the build and equipment data are not published.

The type-certificated cabin for this specific airframe is listed as 22 seats (transport/approved seating), indicating a high-density transport or corporate shuttle layout rather than a lower-density executive interior. Avionics reported in public listings include Collins components with a Collins ADF 462 and Honeywell systems such as a Honeywell weather radar and a Honeywell TCAS 2000, supporting single-crew-aware situational awareness and en route weather avoidance. Typical mission profiles for this configuration would leverage the aircraft’s 3,365 nm range and 424 kts cruise speed for medium- to long-range corporate or charter sectors operating from its owner’s base in Houston, TX, with operations up to a certified service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin GE CF34-3A2 turbofan installations and transport-category seating certification that can affect inspection and interior overhaul cycles.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A occupies the medium-sized business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with its reported 3,365 nm range and twin GE CF34-3A2 engines. Competing platforms typically include other late-model large-cabin business jets that prioritize range and passenger capacity; the 22-seat layout here is oriented toward high-density transport or special-mission use rather than traditional executive arrangements. Buyer and charter demand for this family often hinges on airframe condition, avionics fit (notably the reported Collins and Honeywell components), and the cost implications of maintaining GE CF34-series engines and transport-category interior approvals during resale or conversion.
