Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N650CF, is a 2019 build of the Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650 bearing serial number 6136. The aircraft is owned by the corporation BIG HORN AVIATION GROUP, based in Fort Worth, TX, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. As a late-model 2019 Challenger 650 the airframe carries a market valuation around $34,000,000 and has the configuration and equipment consistent with corporate operations out of a Texas base. Acquisition and registration activity reflect corporate ownership and typical U.S.-registry maintenance oversight under the owner's operational control.
The cabin of this Challenger 650 is fitted in a typical executive arrangement described as a 9–12-place layout for executive use but remains certified up to 22 seats, allowing the corporate owner to vary interior fit by mission. Avionics are Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 with four large displays and an FMS offering LPV and RNP capabilities, supporting precision approaches and sophisticated navigation for cross-country and international corporate missions. With a design cruise of 459 kts and a long-range capability of 4,000 nm, typical operations for N650CF would include transcontinental flights from its Fort Worth base and regional international trips into the Caribbean and Central America. Maintenance considerations align with Challenger 650 type-common schedules for CF34-3B powerplants and Pro Line 21 avionics support, with corporate-operator standards applied under the owner’s oversight.
The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650 occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and a high-speed cruise for its class. Competing models include Gulfstream G280 and Dassault Falcon 2000 derivatives, with buyer and charter demand driven by cabin size, range, and operating economics; the CF34-3B engines and Pro Line 21 avionics are factors in maintenance and resale evaluations. For a 2019 airframe like N650CF, marketability benefits from modern systems and a relatively recent production year, while corporate ownership and U.S. registration simplify regulatory and records review during potential sale or lease transactions.
