N747NJ

This airframe, registered as N747NJ, is a 1992-built Canadair (Bombardier Aerospace) Challenger Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A/ER with serial number 5123. The airframe is held by the corporate owner CHALLENGER 601 MSN 5123 LLC, registered in Kansas City, MO, US, and operates on a United States registration. The airframe’s public valuation is listed at $2,300,000, reflecting its age and configuration for executive transport. Maintenance history and specific registry transactions are recorded under the current corporate ownership and reflect typical lifecycle actions for a Challenger 601-series executive jet of this era.

The cabin is outfitted in an executive configuration typical for the type, accommodating 10–12 pax with multiple-zone club seating common on this variant and particular to this airframe’s layout. Avionics are noted as Collins / Pro Line, with the caveat that typical upgrades vary by airframe, so individual fitment and systems capability can differ depending on retrofit work performed under the current ownership. The Challenger 601-3A/ER airframe is typically employed on medium- to long-range business missions consistent with its 3,366 nm range and cruise speed of 476 kts, operating from a corporate base tied to its Kansas City, MO registration. Maintenance considerations reflect standard CF34-3A engine support and airframe aging items typical for early-1990s production Challengers.

The Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A/ER occupies the large-cabin, medium-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and a spacious executive cabin relative to earlier light jets. Competing types include similarly configured large-cabin jets from Gulfstream and Bombardier lines of adjacent vintages; however, the Challenger’s combination of range, cabin volume, and operating economics defines its buyer and charter demand. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe weigh heavily on engine hours, avionics upgrade status, and cabin refurbishment history, factors implicitly tied to its $2,300,000 market valuation.
