Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N108E, is a 2015 build of the Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3+ with manufacturer serial number 525B0476. The aircraft is operated for private corporate use and is registered to LUCKY STARS LLC of Missoula, MT, US, reflecting a single-entity ownership structure. The airframe carries a US registration and is listed in the fixed-wing multi-engine category; current market valuation for this individual CJ3+ is $7,400,000. No public record of other operators or historic registry actions is provided beyond the current LLC ownership.

The installed cabin in this CJ3+ is an executive layout accommodating a 6–8-place club configuration with a forward refreshment center and a belted lavatory, which aligns with the standard CJ3+ executive fit. Avionics are the typical CJ3+ fit with a Garmin G3000 suite (listing shows Garmin 3000), supporting advanced flight management, touchscreen PFD/MFD interfaces, and integrated autothrottle capabilities common to the model. With a cruise speed of 416 knots and a range of 2,040 nm, the aircraft is well suited to regional and transcontinental executive missions from its Missoula, MT base, supporting direct flights across much of North America. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe would follow CJ3+ schedules for Williams FJ44-3A powerplants and G3000 avionics lifecycle items; no specific maintenance history is published here.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3+ occupies the light business jet niche, offering a blend of high cruise speed, long-range capability for its class, and modern avionics. Competing models in this segment include similarly sized light jets that emphasize short-field performance and efficient operating economics. Demand from owner-operators and charter operators typically favors CJ3+ airframes with upgraded avionics like the G3000 and well-maintained Williams FJ44 engines, which supports resale and charter valuation metrics reflected in the $7,400,000 estimate for this airframe. Maintenance and resale considerations focus on engine time, avionics updates, and interior condition tied to the executive 6–8 place configuration.
