N651LS

The airframe bearing tail number N651LS is a 1999-built Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16), serial number 5413, registered in the United States. The airframe is recorded as being owned by WESTWIND AIR HOLDINGS INC (Wilmington, DE, US), reflecting corporate ownership rather than an individual operator. Registry data show a U.S. registration and corporate home base in Wilmington, Delaware; no public record of other ownership transfers is provided in the dataset. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.

This specific Challenger 604 (serial 5413) is equipped to support medium- to long-range missions consistent with its 3,993 nm range and typical high-speed cruise of 436 kts, making it suitable for extended single-leg flights. The provided seating count of 22 indicates a higher-density cabin configuration relative to typical corporate layouts, which suggests use for charter, group transport, or corporate shuttle roles rather than a low-seating executive fit. With a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft and twin GE CF34-3B turbofans, the airframe is capable of efficient high-altitude cruise profiles that favor fuel economy and weather avoidance on transcontinental routes. Specific avionics fit, interior amenities, and maintenance history for this serial are not published in the supplied data.

The Bombardier Challenger 604 family occupies a mid-size long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and robust twin-engine performance as reflected by the GE CF34-3B powerplants on this airframe. Competitors in similar mission roles include other late-1990s mid-size bizjets that emphasize range and cabin capacity; the Challenger 604 is noted for a balance of speed (436 kts) and payload (here, 22 seats). Buyer and charter demand for late-1990s Challengers typically hinges on maintenance status, modification history, and records; with corporate ownership as shown (WESTWIND AIR HOLDINGS INC), resale considerations would focus on documentation, engine cycles, and any supplemental maintenance tracking not supplied in the present dataset.
