Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N721G is a 1992-built Bombardier Challenger 601-3A (CL-600-2B16), serial 5109, manufactured by Canadair / Bombardier. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by CHALLENGER HC LLC (an LLC based in New York, NY, US). The airframe’s status reflects post-factory civil transport configuration trends for the model and its market valuation is estimated at $1,500,000, indicative of an older Challenger 601-3A example in the current secondary market. Acquisition by CHALLENGER HC LLC is the primary recorded ownership detail for this specific serial.
The aircraft carries a typical transport certificate listing 22 seats, though many Challenger 601-3A airframes are commonly reconfigured to VIP executive interiors of approximately 8–12 executive seats with a forward galley and aft lavatory; this airframe’s cabin layout follows that family practice as a baseline. Avionics for this serial vary by operator, with many 601-3A examples fitted with Collins or Honeywell ProLine-class suites or various retrofits; the specific fit for N721G is recorded as variable by operator. Operated from a US base by an LLC headquartered in New York, NY, US, the aircraft’s typical missions align with medium-range executive transport and charter profiles compatible with the model’s 3,365 nm range and 442 kt cruise. Maintenance considerations are those common to the 601-3A subfleet, including support for the GE CF34 series engines and avionics retrofit options.
The Bombardier Challenger 601-3A occupies a mid-size business jet niche offering transcontinental range and transonic cruise suited to corporate and charter operators. Competing models within its vintage class command similar cabin and mission profiles; demand centers on buyers seeking robust payload/range with the willingness to invest in avionics or interior refurbishments. Resale and maintenance economics for this airframe reflect aging-platform depreciation—illustrated by the $1,500,000 valuation—while ongoing support depends on CF34 engine servicing and available avionics upgrade paths.
