N8944B

This entry covers airframe N8944B, a 2004-built member of the Bombardier regional jet family, serial number 7944. The aircraft was manufactured by Bombardier Inc. (Canadair) and is recorded in US registration as a fixed-wing multi-engine regional jet. Ownership and commercial utilization for this specific airframe are attributed to Pinnacle Airlines (operated for Delta Connection / sub-leased arrangements), reflecting its use in feeder and regional service under operated for Delta Connection / sub-leased arrangements. Public record highlights for this tail include the airframe's CRJ-440 conversion status and its ongoing alignment with CRJ-200 family operational standards; detailed recent valuation or condition reports are not published in the supplied data.

The aircraft is configured in a 44-seat single-class regional layout (CRJ-440 conversion) intended to provide a higher-comfort regional cabin within the CRJ-200 family envelope. Avionics fitment follows the family-typical Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting standard regional airline operational requirements. In service with Pinnacle Airlines (operated for Delta Connection / sub-leased arrangements), the airframe is employed primarily on short-haul, high-frequency regional feeder missions consistent with its performance envelope. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with CF34-3B1 engine support and CRJ-200-family airframe checks typical of aircraft converted to the 44-seat CRJ-440 layout.

This airframe is a member of the Bombardier CRJ-440 variant of the Canadair CL-600-2B19 / CRJ-200 family, produced by Bombardier Inc. (Canadair) and delivered in 2004. With a 44-seat single-class cabin, a 1,700 nm range and a 424 kt cruise speed, the type occupies a niche for short to medium regional sectors where seat capacity and dispatch economics are balanced against runway and airport access constraints. Market and operational considerations for this airframe emphasize engine support for the General Electric CF34-3B1 pair and resale or redeployment value tied to the CRJ-440 conversion and Pro Line 4 avionics fitment.
