N726SK

This entry covers airframe N726SK, a regional jet built in 2005 as a Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10) with manufacturer serial number 10190. The aircraft has been recorded in corporate ownership under registered trust ownership as Wells Fargo Bank Northwest Na Trustee, located in Salt Lake City, UT, United States. The aircraft carries a United States registry (US) and no additional operator or home base is publicly published. The airframe’s market valuation is listed at $5,500,000, with registry records showing standard corporate trustee ownership and no publicly noted extraordinary registry actions.

The cabin is configured in a typical 70-seat regional airline layout, described as Typical 70-seat regional airline layout (airline-configured) for this airframe, optimized for short- to medium-haul scheduled routes. Avionics aboard are fitted with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting regional airline operational requirements and common type-rated crew procedures. With a cruise speed of 447 kts and a range of 1,732 nm, this aircraft is suited to high-frequency regional services, thin transborder sectors, and third-party wet-lease or charter work when operated commercially. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow CRJ-700/701 line-item practices, with CF34-8C5 engine support and component tracking important under trustee ownership arrangements.

The Bombardier CRJ-701ER (CL-600-2C10) occupies the regional jet performance niche between smaller commuter types and larger single-aisle jets, offering 70 seats with transcontinental-range flexibility to 1,732 nm and a ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models include stretched regional jets and smaller narrowbodies in airline short-haul sectors; demand typically arises from regional carriers, charter operators, and lessors. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect engine life-limited parts for the General Electric CF34-8C5, avionics commonality with Pro Line 4-equipped fleets, and the market valuation at $5,500,000 under corporate trust ownership.
