This airframe, registered as N888GB, is a 2008-built Bombardier Challenger 605, serial number 5771, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The jet is recorded as owned by GULF AIR LLC, an LLC based in Naples, FL, US, and is carried on the U.S. civil register. The airframe presents as a nine-passenger executive-configured Challenger 605 and carries a published market valuation of $8,950,000. Operated from Naples, Florida under LLC ownership, the aircraft reflects typical light-heavy business jet ownership and registry characteristics for its model year and configuration.

The cabin of this specific Challenger 605 is outfitted in a nine-passenger executive layout with a forward four-place club, an aft three-place divan opposite a two-place club, and an additional jumpseat. Avionics aboard this airframe comprise the Collins Pro Line 21 (Advanced) suite with dual Collins FMC-6000 flight management computers, Collins GPS-4000A, TCAS II, and TAWS, supporting precision navigation and modern traffic and terrain awareness. Typical mission profiles for this configuration and performance envelope include transcontinental U.S. and intercontinental trips within its long-range capability, business executive transport, and on-demand charter missions. Maintenance and operations for this airframe follow manufacturer and engine OEM schedules, with attention to Pro Line 21 system support and CF34-3B engine programs.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605 occupies the light-heavy business jet niche with long-range capability and a spacious cabin relative to similar class types. Competing models typically include late-model large-cabin business jets offering similar transcontinental range and passenger comfort. Buyer and charter demand for 2008 Challenger 605s centers on operators seeking a balance of range (4,047 nm), passenger comfort, and proven systems like the Collins Pro Line 21; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine program status for the GE CF34-3B engines and avionics upgrade paths.
