N666CT

This entry covers airframe N666CT, a Canadair-built business jet completed in 1987 with manufacturer serial number 5007. The airframe is a Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A produced by Canadair Ltd (Bombardier) and is recorded as owned by Polygon Air Corporation, a corporation based in West Harrison, NY, US. The aircraft carries a United States registration and is noted in records with a market valuation of $2,300,000; registered in the United States is the primary notable registry action associated with this airframe. Condition highlights are limited to the published valuation and aircraft configuration data.

The cabin of N666CT is described as a typical executive layout accommodating 9–12 passengers with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; the fit can be operator-configurable and reflects standard Challenger 601-3A corporate interiors. Avionics aboard the airframe may utilise Collins Pro Line II or Honeywell-era integrated suites, varying by retrofit history; specific installed suite for this airframe is not detailed beyond that range. Typical mission profiles for this Challenger 601-3A configuration include medium- to long-range corporate transport, transcontinental flights within the aircraft’s 3,289 nm range and high-speed cruise at 442 kts, operated from the owner’s base region around West Harrison, NY. Maintenance considerations align with older airframes of this vintage and engine type, with lifecycle, avionics retrofit and parts availability being typical operator concerns for a 1987-built business jet.

The Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A occupies a mid-size business jet niche offering long-range capability and transcontinental comfort relative to its era; the example N666CT leverages twin CF34-3A engines producing 9,140 lbf each. Competing models in similar missions include other late-1980s to 1990s mid-size jets, and buyer or charter demand for this model often hinges on airframe condition, avionics modernization and interior refurbishment. Resale considerations for N666CT include its 1987 manufacture date and serial 5007, reported market value of $2,300,000, and the potential need for systems and avionics upgrades to meet contemporary operational and charter requirements.
