The airframe bearing tail number N8VB is a 2012-built Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6000 with serial number 9490. It is owned by CBS MASS MEDIA CORP, a corporate owner based in Van Nuys, CA, US, and is US-registered. The operator/home base is reflected by its corporate ownership in Van Nuys, and there are no other publicly listed ownership transfers or leases in the supplied data. Valuation records list this specific airframe at $26,000,000, indicating a high-value large-cabin business jet in service-grade condition per available information.

This airframe is fitted with a typical 13-seat executive cabin layout but is configurable up to 19 seats, and some records list a 23-seat certification, matching the certified seat count of 23 for certain operations. The installed avionics suite is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion, supporting advanced flight management, synthetic vision and integrated systems suited to long-range high‑altitude operations. Typical mission profiles for this Global 6000 include transcontinental and intercontinental executive transport given the 6,000 nm range and high cruise speed of 488 kts, often operated from its Van Nuys corporate base for media- and corporate-related travel. Maintenance considerations for this specific jet align with large-cabin, twin‑engine business-jet practices, including scheduled care for the BR710A2-20 engines and avionics lifecycle support for the Pro Line Fusion system.

The Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6000 occupies the long-range, large-cabin niche, offering transoceanic capability and high cruise speed for executive and corporate customers. Competing models in the segment include other ultra-long-range business jets, where buyers and charter operators value range, cabin comfort and advanced avionics such as the installed Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2012 airframe with serial 9490 focus on airframe hours, engine cycles on the BR710A2-20 engines and avionics updates; the listed market value of $26,000,000 reflects these factors for a US-registered corporate-operated example.
