N7700

This entry documents airframe N7700, a 2008-built Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605 with serial number 5745. The aircraft is recorded as owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE (corporation) and carries a United States registration (US). Operator and home base are not published in the available data; the registry file does show a 22-seat certification on record. Valuation data lists the airframe at $9,000,000, and the combination of a mid-production Challenger 605 fit and a trustee ownership arrangement suggests use in corporate or trust-managed charter/lease roles rather than an active airline assignment.

The cabin is equipped in a typical executive layout intended to carry 10–12 passengers in forward galley, multiple club/berth zones and an aft lavatory, while the registry retains a formal 22-seat certification on file, indicating certification flexibility for higher-density carriage. Avionics aboard examples of this type typically include the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, and this airframe is listed with that fit as its typical equipment. Operational use for this airframe would commonly include transcontinental and international business missions within its 4,045 nm range at cruise speeds near 471 kts, operating to flight levels approaching its 41,000 ft ceiling. Trustee ownership can introduce specific maintenance custodial arrangements and periodic records reviews as part of asset oversight.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605 occupies the midsize long-range corporate jet niche, valued for range, cabin size and Pro Line 21 avionics commonality. Competing models include late-model Gulfstream G150/G280 and Dassault Falcon 2000 variants for buyers seeking similar mission capability. Market demand typically favors well-documented maintenance records and flexible interior certification; with a listed value of $9,000,000 and a 2008 build year, resale and charter appeal will hinge on logbook completeness, avionics standardization and interior condition.
