N97DK

This entry documents the airframe registered as N97DK, a 2008-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 with serial number 20216. The aircraft is owned by the corporation JOURNEY & HOME INC, headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe’s market valuation is listed at $9,500,000, reflecting its year, equipment fit and typical condition for this serial range. No other publicized ownership transfers or registry actions are recorded in the provided data.

The cabin of this Challenger 300 follows a typical 8‑place executive layout with a double‑club forward arrangement, an aft club, and an optional divan or belted lavatory as noted for the type. Avionics fit for many airframes of this model is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21; this specific aircraft is described with that avionics suite and notes that many examples were later upgraded to Pro Line 21 Advanced. Typical mission profiles for this airframe combine medium‑ to long‑range business missions—leveraging the 3,100 nm range and high‑speed cruise of 459 kts—with eight‑passenger executive transport from its base in Philadelphia, PA. Maintenance considerations align with the twin‑engine Honeywell AS907 series and the avionics life‑cycle for Pro Line 21 retrofits.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 family occupies the light‑large business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a high cruise speed and 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in this performance bracket include other super‑midsize and large light business jets, where buyers and charter operators prize the Challenger 300 for its cabin comfort and range‑speed balance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial include monitoring Honeywell engine programs and avionics upgrade paths (notably Pro Line 21 Advanced), both of which materially affect marketability and the cited $9,500,000 valuation.
