N715JF

This entry covers the specific Bombardier-built airframe bearing tail number N715JF, a 2008 production Challenger 850 with serial 8095. The airframe was manufactured by Bombardier Inc. and is recorded as owned by FABAIR LLC, an LLC based in Milwaukee, WI, US; the current registration appears on U.S. civil registers under that owner. The aircraft’s status reflects a typical late-2000s Challenger 850 completion with operator-specific interior finishes and a market valuation assessed at $9,800,000.

The airframe is completed in the Bombardier Challenger 850 configuration with a typical executive three-zone cabin layout certified for 12–15 passengers, and this specific example is outfitted for 14 seats with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory; finish details are operator-specific. Avionics fit aligns with common Challenger/CRJ completions, using the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting regional business and charter operations. With a 3,096 nm range and a cruise speed near 442 kts, the aircraft is typically employed on medium to long-range executive transport and charter missions from its Milwaukee base, requiring familiar heavy-jet maintenance practices for CF34-powered regional derivatives. The Challenger 850’s cabin scale and systems mean maintenance and refurbishment cycles are significant considerations for operators maintaining interior standards and avionics currency.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B19 Challenger 850 occupies the upper end of the large-cabin business jet niche derived from regional jet platforms, offering transcontinental capability with comfortable cabin volume. Competing models include large-cabin jets repurposed from regional airframes and purpose-built business jets in the same range-performance class. Buyer and charter demand typically favors examples with updated interior completions and modern avionics such as Collins Pro Line 4; resale value and maintenance costs reflect the airframe’s 2008 vintage, CF34 engine condition, and completion-standard, which are central to lifecycle economics for this type.
