Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N1220W, is a 2003-built Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 with manufacturer's serial number 525A0146. The aircraft is owned by BRAVO TANGO CJ2 LLC (an LLC based in Bakersfield, CA, US) and is operated under United States registration. The airframe’s operator/home base is tied to its owner’s stated location in Bakersfield, California, and its market valuation is listed at $3,200,000. No other prior ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the provided data.

The cabin of this Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 is configured to accommodate 8 occupants, reflecting typical light-citation executive seating arrangements for short to medium-range business missions. Based at or operated from Bakersfield, California by BRAVO TANGO CJ2 LLC, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with regional business travel, shuttle runs, and on-demand charter operations within its 1,613 nm range and cruise of 403 kts. While specific avionics fit and interior finish details are not published in the provided data, the two Williams FJ44-2C turbofan engines and the 45,000 ft ceiling imply routine maintenance regimes familiar to FJ44-powered CJ2s, including engine hot-section inspections and time-between-overhaul tracking. The single-owner LLC status suggests centralized maintenance oversight and local basing in Bakersfield.

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 sits in the light business jet niche, offering a balance of speed, range, and operating costs suitable for owner-operators and charter operators needing regional capability. With a listed value of $3,200,000, this CJ2 competes with contemporaries in the entry-level light-jet segment and appeals to buyers seeking transregional performance without midsize operating costs. Common market considerations for this airframe include the FJ44 engine maintenance history, avionics upgrades as resale drivers, and interior refurbishment to maintain charter competitiveness.
