Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N859AG is a 2010-built Bombardier Challenger 605 (CL-600-2B16), manufacturer serial 5831, registered in the US. It is owned by RED LINE AIR LLC (an LLC based in Danbury, CT, US), which appears as the operator/home base for this airframe in current records. The aircraft carries a typical 2010-condition valuation of $10,750,000, reflecting its model year and installed specification. Notable registry action includes its listing under the corporate owner RED LINE AIR LLC, a clear linkage between the aircraft and a Connecticut-based operator.
This specific Challenger 605 airframe is configured with a typical two-zone executive cabin layout, commonly accommodating 10–12 passengers in executive seating despite the aircraft’s certificated seating total of 22—a common commercial-to-business interior conversion for this model. The installed avionics fit is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 (typical) suite, supporting advanced flight management and crew situational awareness for transcontinental and regional missions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe under its operator include corporate and charter operations within the Challenger 605’s long-range business jet envelope, leveraging its 3,732 nm range and 470 kts cruise for non-stop medium- to long-range trips from the operator’s base. Maintenance considerations for this registration align with the twin CF34-3B engine program and Challenger 605 airframe regimes operated under U.S. regulatory oversight.
The Bombardier Challenger 605 (CL-600-2B16) occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a high, 41,000 ft ceiling and substantial passenger comfort in two-zone executive configurations. Competing models in its class target similar mission profiles; buyer and charter demand often favor airframes with well-documented maintenance, corporate registrations, and mature avionics such as Pro Line 21. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its 2010 vintage, GE CF34-3B engines, and the stated market value of $10,750,000, factors that inform lifecycle planning and operator uptime strategies.
