RADAR ESTIMATE

What N139LJ is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Canadair Challenger 601-3A on its own yet, so this borrows the Gulfstream G450 curve, scales it to N139LJ's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N139LJ

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This airframe, registered as N139LJ, is a 1988-built Canadair business jet, model Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A, serial number 5025. The airframe is owned by Global Aircraft Trust Inc Trustee, a corporate trustee located in Cheyenne, WY, US, which places the operator/home base jurisdiction in Wyoming for registry purposes. Ownership under a corporate trust structure and registration in Cheyenne, WY are notable administrative details affecting operational and registry actions.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this Challenger 601-3A is configured in a typical executive layout with a forward galley, mid/aft club seating and an aft lavatory; while certificated layouts vary, this airframe’s cabin accommodates typical nine to twelve passenger executive seating configurations despite a certificated capacity of 22. Avionics fit for many 601-3A examples, and consistent with this airframe’s fitment, is the Collins Pro Line II suite as a common retrofit or stock installation, supporting standard corporate flight operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium-range executive transport within its 3,430 nm range at cruise speeds near 424 kts and operating altitudes up to 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations reflect an airframe from 1988 with CF34-series engines and corporate trust ownership that may centralize records and management.

Model & Market Context

The Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A occupies a performance niche as a large-cabin, medium-range corporate jet powered by CF34-series turbofans, offering intercontinental reach suitable for transcontinental and near-continental missions. Resale and maintenance considerations center on aging-system upgrades, engine program status for the General Electric CF34-3A, and potential retrofit costs to meet modern avionics and interior expectations.
