N104WF

The airframe bearing tail number N104WF is a 2002-built Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 with serial 525A0122, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by REDTAIL MANAGEMENT LLC, a corporation based in Ocilla, GA, US; this registration and ownership tie the airframe to a small management company rather than a large operator. Maintenance and valuation records list the airframe value at $3,000,000, reflecting market conditions for early-2000s light business jets; public records do not publish any additional notable registry actions or prior owner lineage for this specific tail number.

The eight-seat cabin of N104WF conforms to the typical CJ2 executive layout intended for short- to mid-range business missions, offering a small-cabin environment optimized for up to eight passengers on point-to-point flights. The factory-typical avionics fit for the CJ2 is the Collins Pro Line 21, which is cited as the likely suite for this airframe though the specific fit for N104WF is not published in public records. Typical missions for this airframe would include regional corporate travel and on-demand charter legs within its approximately 1,781 nm range and cruise speed near 410 kts, operating from the owner/operator base in Ocilla, GA or nearby regional airports. Maintenance considerations for early-2000s CJ2s often focus on engine accessory life limits and avionics upgrades when preparing for resale or intensive charter use.

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 occupies the light jet niche, offering a balance of speed, short-field performance and operating economics competitive in its class. With twin Williams FJ44-series engines producing about 2,400 lbf each, the CJ2 provides transregional capability to FL450, appealing to small corporations and charter operators seeking single-pilot optionality and low runway requirements. Competing models include other light jets from manufacturers such as Embraer and Learjet variants of the same era; resale and maintenance considerations for a 2002 CJ2 like N104WF include component time-accumulation, avionics refresh costs, and the remaining life on hot-section inspections and accessory overhauls relative to its $3,000,000 valuation.
