Model & Market Context

The airframe, registered as N949SJ, is a 1996-built Bombardier CL-600-2B19 Challenger 850 with manufacturer's serial number 7136. It is owned by SIERRA DELTA ROMEO LLC, an LLC based in Scottsdale, AZ, and is U.S.-registered as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. Notable registry actions are not published in the supplied data, and the airframe is valued at $9,800,000, reflecting its age and configuration.

The cabin for this specific Challenger 850 is advertised and operated in an 18-seat executive layout arranged in three zones with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; broker listings report cabin dimensions of approximately 14.76 m length × 2.49 m width × 1.85 m height. Avionics are described as a Collins Pro Line / Pro Line 4-style suite, typical for CRJ/Challenger 850 conversions, with the specific panel potentially varying by airframe. With a long-range capability of 3,096 nm and a cruise speed of 442 kts, typical missions for N949SJ would include transcontinental or high-utilization charter and corporate shuttle flights operating from its owner/operator base in Scottsdale, AZ. Maintenance considerations align with its 1996 manufacture date and CF34 turbofan heritage; detailed maintenance history is not published in the provided data.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B19 Challenger 850 occupies a niche as a stretched, cabin-enlarged derivative of regional jet designs, offering high seating capacity and long-range cruise performance for large-cabin executive or high-density transport missions. Its operating profile—ceiling 41,000 ft, CF34 powerplants, and an 18-seat executive fit in this example—appeals to charter operators and corporate owners seeking a balance of capacity and range. Age, avionics fit variability, and parts/maintenance considerations tied to the CF34 series are relevant to resale and lifecycle valuation, reflected in the stated value of $9,800,000.
