N8516C

This article covers airframe N8516C, a Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) built in 2001 with manufacturer's serial number 7516. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, N.A., as Owner Trustee, reflecting its status under a corporate trust ownership arrangement rather than direct airline operating ownership. There is no published operator/home-base history in the supplied data; registry records confirm the U.S. registration but provide no further notable registry actions. Valuation and detailed condition assessments are not published in the provided data.

The airframe carries a standard 50-seat single-class regional layout consistent with the CRJ-200 family, noted here as a 50-seat single-class regional layout (standard CRJ-200 seating). With its twin General Electric CF34-3B1 engines, the aircraft is configured for short- to medium-haul regional routes where high-frequency frequency and quick turnarounds are typical. Specific avionics fit, operator base, and any unique cabin amenities or supplemental maintenance considerations for this individual airframe are not published in the supplied data; routine CRJ-200 maintenance and component support expectations apply based on the model and engine type. Ownership under a financial trustee suggests the aircraft has been held in a lease or financing role rather than retained for direct operator asset use.

The Bombardier CRJ-200LR (CL-600-2B19) occupies the regional jet niche for 50-seat operations, offering a typical range of 1,700 nm and a cruise speed around 424 kts, with a service ceiling of 41,000 ft—characteristics suited to regional trunk routes and thin long-range sectors. Competing types historically include other 50-seat regional jets and turboprops for cost-sensitive markets; buyer and charter demand for individual CRJ-200 airframes is influenced by airframe age, engine time, and ownership encumbrances such as trustee-held title. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe would align with the CF34-powered CRJ-200 fleet norms, with attention to lifecycle component status and any lease or trustee documentation tied to Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, N.A., as Owner Trustee.
