N88YR

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N88YR, a Bombardier-built regional jet delivered in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 7607. The airframe is a Bombardier CL-600-2B19 (CRJ-200) originally produced by Bombardier Inc. and is recorded as owned by SUPERIOR AVIATION INC, a corporation based in Orlando, FL, US. The US-registered airframe's operational history is defined by its corporate ownership and configuration flexibility; no separate operator transfer or notable registry actions are published beyond the current corporate ownership. Condition and valuation details are not published for this specific tail.

The airframe is typically offered in either an operator-configured VIP/club arrangement advertised at 42-club seating or in a standard single-class economy layout accommodating 50–55 passengers depending on configuration; the registered aircraft's baseline capacity is 55 seats. Avionics are listed in the typical CRJ-200 fit as Rockwell Collins ProLine, with the caveat that the operator may vary the installed suite. Operationally, this aircraft’s specification suite (range, cruise speed and ceiling) suits short to medium regional hops and corporate charter missions from its base in Orlando, FL under corporate ownership. Maintenance considerations follow CRJ-200 class norms tied to CF34-3B1 engines and regional-jet airframe maintenance cycles, with interior refits likely when switching between VIP and high-density layouts.

The CL-600-2B19 (CRJ-200) occupies the regional jet niche focused on short-to-medium stage lengths with moderate passenger counts and higher cruise speeds relative to turboprops. With two GE CF34-3B1 turbofans producing 9,220 lbf each, the type competes against other 50–60 seat regional jets and high-capacity turboprops for charter and regional airline work. Buyer and charter demand for this airframe is driven by its flexibility in cabin configuration and established support infrastructure, while maintenance and resale considerations reflect aging regional-jet airframe economics and commonality of the CF34 engine family.
