Bombardier bought Canadair in 1986 and built a jet lineup around it. The Challenger 3500 and 650 serve the mid-size market, while the Global series includes the new 8000, the longest-range and fastest in the fleet. The Learjet line stopped production a few years ago.

Hey Steve, can you teach me about Bombardier jets? Those airplanes were made from a manufacturer in Canada. They originally started back in the 1980s, 1986, buying the company called Canadair. Today they're most well known for a mid-sized airplane called the Challenger 3500, and then it goes up with Challenger 650, it goes up to a whole series of Globals, which are the larger and ultra long-range airplanes. The Global 5500, the Global 6500, the Global 7500, and just came out the Global 8000, which is the longest range, fastest, best cabin altitude airplane out in the fleet. And they used to manufacture the old Learjet, which was an iconic brand, but they stopped production on those a few years ago.
