N996SR

This airframe, registered as N996SR, is a 2004-built Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) with serial number 5597. The aircraft is owned by RHP EXPRESS III LLC, a limited liability company based in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and is registered in the US. The Challenger 604 airframe shows a typical mid-life market presence reflected in an assessed value of $8,000,000, and its registry entry and ownership are tied to a corporate operator based in Michigan. Notable administrative marks include its US registration and ownership under a single LLC; no further public ownership history or transfers are published for this specific tail.

The aircraft is certified for 22 seats, while operator-specific executive arrangements typically fit 10–12 passengers in a conventional executive layout; this specific airframe’s cabin certification permits high-density or executive configurations as required. Avionics are fitted with a Collins Pro Line 4 suite, and the airframe aligns with common upgrade pathways such as Pro Line Fusion should the owner pursue modernization. Operational profiles for this Challenger 604 generally include medium- to long-range corporate missions within its 3,756 nm range and transcontinental US flights at a cruise of 459 kts, operating from the owner’s Michigan base. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin CF34 powerplants and mid-2000s airframe vintage, with corporate-operator maintenance and configuration choices influencing dispatch reliability and interior fit.

The Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) occupies the performance niche for large-cabin, long-range business jets introduced in the late 1990s and early 2000s, offering a high-capacity cabin and robust performance to 41,000 ft. Competing models in market positioning emphasize similar range and cabin volume, and demand among buyers and charter operators often centers on aircraft with proven airframe hours, avionics modernization, and engine maintenance status. For this airframe, resale and upkeep considerations are driven by its 2004 build year, CF34-3B engines, the installed Pro Line 4 avionics, and the assessed value of $8,000,000, factors that influence buyer interest and potential retrofit economics.
