N850NB

This entry covers airframe N850NB, a Bombardier CL-600-2B19 (CRJ-200ER) built by Bombardier Inc. in 1997 with manufacturer serial number 7211. The airframe is owned by corporation AIR SERVICES LTD, based in Las Vegas, NV, US, and is registered in the US. Reported ownership under AIR SERVICES LTD represents the principal corporate operator/registrant for this airframe. Valuation and public condition reporting for this specific airframe are not published.

This individual CRJ-200ER is outfitted in a VIP 15-seat first-class configuration (reported F15), converting the standard 50-seat regional layout into a corporate or executive transport cabin with increased cabin space per passenger and attendant amenities. Avionics are identified as Collins Pro Line 4, which is a typical flight deck fit for CRJ-200 variants and supports regional operations and IFR capability consistent with commercial and private charter missions. Based on its ownership and US registration, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include regional VIP charters, corporate shuttles, and medium-range point-to-point transport within the approximately 1,345 nm range envelope. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on mid-life airframe and engine support for the CF34-3B1 series and keeping Collins Pro Line 4 avionics current for regulatory and operational requirements.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B19 (CRJ-200ER) occupies a performance niche as a 50-seat regional jet adapted frequently into VIP or combi roles; it competes historically with types such as the Embraer ERJ family for regional and corporate markets. Its performance—cruise speeds around 424 kts and a service ceiling near 41,000 ft—makes it suitable for short-to-medium range missions where speed and cabin comfort are prioritized over long-range capability. Buyer and charter demand for converted CRJ-200s tends to emphasize availability of refurbishment records, CF34 engine maintenance history, and avionics status; resale considerations are influenced by airframe age (this example is a 1997 build), maintenance status, and the desirability of its VIP F15 interior.
