Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered N100JW, is a 2006-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with manufacturer serial number 525B0086. The aircraft was produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is owned by Bluebird Air LLC, an LLC based in Prospect, KY, US. As a U.S.-registered fixed-wing multi-engine business jet, it carries an estimated market value of $5,000,000 and presents as a typical mid-2000s CJ3 configuration for corporate or charter operations. Registered to Bluebird Air LLC and operated from its Prospect, Kentucky base, the airframe’s condition and valuation reflect the common service life and avionics upgrade potential of CJ3s from this production period.
The cabin is fitted in a typical executive layout accommodating 2 crew + 6–8 passengers with club or semi-club seating and a belted lavatory option, consistent with Citation CJ3 factory arrangements. Avionics for the airframe would have been delivered with the typical original Collins Pro Line 21, although many CJ3s from this era are later upgraded to Garmin G3000 on a per-aircraft basis; individual retrofit status for N100JW is not detailed here. Operationally, the jet’s 1,875 nm range and 416 kt cruise speed position it for regional and trans‑regional business missions, frequently used for point-to-point corporate travel from its Prospect, Kentucky base. Maintenance considerations follow CJ3 norms, including attention to the Williams FJ44-3A engines and potential avionics modernization to maintain charter-market competitiveness.
The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light‑jet niche for operators needing higher payload-range than earlier Citation models while retaining single-pilot capability in many operators’ configurations. Competitors include other light jets offering similar cruise speeds and ranges; buyer and charter demand for a 2006 CJ3 centers on airframe condition, avionics fit, and engine cycles. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize Williams FJ44 engine status, the airframe’s logbook completeness, and whether an avionics upgrade to Garmin G3000 has been performed to preserve market value near the stated $5,000,000.
