N124BL

This airframe, registered as N124BL, is a 2007-build Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0181. The aircraft is owned by LOFTON ROBERT A, an individual based in Brawley, CA, US, and is registered in the United States. Registered to the named private owner in Brawley, CA, this airframe has remained in private-individual hands, and its condition and configuration reflect typical executive use for a CJ3 of this vintage. Market valuation for this specific airframe is listed at $6,300,000, a figure that corresponds to a well-equipped, mid-2000s CJ3 with standard systems and an executive cabin.

The aircraft is typically fitted with a six- to eight-place executive cabin in the CJ3-standard center-club seating arrangement, with a forward refreshment center and the belted aft lav option available on some CJ3s as a possible configuration choice; this airframe’s seating is listed for eight. Avionics are typical for the variant, generally equipped with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting regional business missions and single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operations. With a 2,040 nm range and a cruise of 416 knots, the airframe is well suited to short international hops, transcontinental missions within the U.S., or frequent regional shuttle work from its home base in Brawley, California. Maintenance considerations follow CJ3 norms for twin Williams FJ44 engines and Pro Line 21 avionics upkeep.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light business jet niche, offering higher speed and payload than earlier CitationJets while retaining favorable operating economics. Typical competitors include other light-cabin, long-range light jets that appeal to owner-operators and charter operators seeking efficient transcontinental capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2007 airframe center on airframe hours, engine cycles on the pair of Williams FJ44-3A engines, and the life-cycle status of Pro Line 21 avionics, all factors that influence demand and valuation in the pre-owned light-jet market.
