N704MF

This entry documents airframe N704MF, a Bombardier-built long-range business jet completed in 1999 with manufacturer's serial number 9065. The airframe is recorded as owned by MC GROUP, a corporation based in Santa Monica, CA, US, and carries a United States civil registration. FAA records list an interior seating count that differs from typical factory layouts, suggesting either a high-density configuration or an alternate commercial/charter fit. No other transfer or deregistration events are noted in the supplied data set.

The cabin in this airframe follows a typical three-zone executive layout common to the early Bombardier Global Express series, with the supplied record indicating 23 seats despite the layout commonly being fitted for 8–16 passengers; this points to a denser seating installation or a mixed passenger/cargo or charter role. Avionics are listed as the Honeywell Primus 2000XP suite as originally fitted on many early BD-700s, though many airframes of this vintage subsequently received cockpit upgrades; no specific retrofit record is provided here. With a long-range capability of 6,500 nm and a high cruise of 488 kts, operational profiles for this airframe would typically include transcontinental and intercontinental point-to-point executive transport missions originating from its operator base in Santa Monica, CA. Maintenance considerations for this specific jet follow the BR700-series engine and Global Express airframe programs, with particular attention to engine shop visits and avionics upgrade paths for continued certification and marketability.

The airframe is a member of the Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express family, a long-range, high-speed business jet designed to compete in the ultra-long-range corporate market. With twin BR700-series turbofan engines producing 14,750 lbf each and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, the type occupies the niche against competitors offering similar transoceanic capability. Buyer and charter demand for late-1990s Globals tends to weigh heavily on maintenance history, avionics modernization (notably upgrades from original Honeywell Primus 2000XP installations), and interior configuration; the unusual 23-seat entry on the FAA record is a salient factor for prospective operators or purchasers assessing resale and mission flexibility.
