This airframe, registered as N898M, is a 2024-built Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6000 completed by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is owned and operated by the United States Air Force (government, United States) and is registered in the US. Entered service with the United States Air Force upon delivery in 2024, the airframe carries a contemporary executive interior and modern avionics fit consistent with late-model Global 6000 examples. Valuation and condition assessments list the platform at approximately $40,000,000, reflecting a new-build airframe with full factory fitout.
The cabin of this airframe is configured in an executive four-zone layout typical of the Global 6000, providing seating for up to 13–17 passengers in a VIP arrangement with a forward galley and an aft lavatory. The flight deck is equipped with the Bombardier Vision avionics suite, featuring large-format displays and EVS/SVS capability, supporting enhanced situational awareness for long-range missions. Operated by the United States Air Force from a United States base, the aircraft’s performance—especially its 6,000 nm range and 488 kts cruise—positions it for long-range government transport, diplomatic missions, and executive movement profiles. Maintenance planning centres on the airframe’s twin Rolls-Royce BR710A2-20 engines and factory systems, with government operating standards informing inspection intervals and support arrangements.
The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6000 represented by N898M occupies the long-range executive transport niche among fixed-wing multi-engine platforms, combining high cruise speed and transcontinental range with a large VIP cabin. With a certified ceiling of 51,000 ft and modern Vision avionics, the platform addresses operators seeking extended-range connectivity and advanced cockpit capability. The listed valuation of $40,000,000 for this 2024 unit reflects its new-build status, high-spec cabin fit and contemporary systems, factors that influence maintenance planning and future resale considerations for government-operated examples.
