N712WB

The airframe bearing tail number N712WB is a 2023-built Bombardier Challenger 3500 (type BD-100-1A10), serial number 20946, manufactured by Bombardier Inc.. It is owned by Blessey Aviation LLC, an LLC based in Big Sky, MT, US, and is registered in the US. The specific aircraft carries the modern Challenger 3500 configuration and, with a contemporary build year and low airframe age, is recorded with a market valuation of $26,000,000. The registration ties the aircraft to a private LLC in Montana, indicating owner-operator or fractional private use rather than commercial airline service.

This specific Challenger 3500 is furnished in an owner-stated 8-place executive layout on a flat-floor cabin; manufacturer standard layouts for the model support up to 10 passengers and Nuage seats are available on the 3500 line. The airframe is equipped with Advanced Challenger 3500 avionics featuring four large displays and autothrottle; optional HUD/EVS capability is noted as available for the model. Typical missions for this aircraft from its Big Sky, MT base would include long-range business transcontinental and transcontinental-plus flights within the 3,400 nm capability, combining high cruise speed and 45,000 ft ceiling to optimize direct routings and favorable fuel burn. Maintenance considerations for a 2023 airframe center on Honeywell HTF-series engine support and avionics software life-cycle management tied to the Advanced Challenger 3500 suite.

The Bombardier Challenger 3500 occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, emphasizing a combination of transcontinental range, high cruise speed, and a spacious flat-floor cabin for up to 10 passengers in standard layouts. Competing models typically include other super-midsize types offering similar range and cabin comfort; buyer demand has favored updated avionics and interior options such as Nuage seating. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on Honeywell HTF engine support, Challenger 3500 avionics commonality, and the aircraft’s recent manufacture date, which together bolster marketability and reduce short-term refurb costs relative to older examples.
