Model & Market Context

This entry documents airframe N12GS, a 2006-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0122. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by BLUE SKY INC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US; this ownership is the principal recorded operator/home base linkage in the registry. The airframe's registry entries list an eight-seat configuration and a market valuation of $4,295,000, with no public record here of subsequent owners or major registry actions beyond the current corporate registration. Condition highlights are limited to the factory configuration and published performance specifications for this individual airframe.

The cabin of N12GS is described in typical executive format as a 2+4/6 layout, while the registry specifically lists 8 seats, indicating flexibility for passenger or light-cargo configurations common to light business jets. The aircraft’s mission profile, based on its range and cruise performance, supports medium-range executive transport and on-demand charter sectors; typical operations would include point-to-point regional and transcontinental legs within its 2,040 nm range at a cruise of 416 kts. Avionics fit, specific interior appointments, and unique amenities for this serial are not published in the provided data. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the twin Williams FJ44-3A powerplant architecture and the airframe’s 2006 manufacture year, factors relevant to inspection cycles and engine support programs.

As a member of the CitationJet family, the Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light business-jet niche emphasizing efficient cruise and lower operating costs relative to larger cabin jets. Competitors typically include other light-cabin jets offering similar range and speed profiles; the twin Williams FJ44-3A engines provide reliable thrust ratings that support a practical service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Buyer and charter demand for this model historically targets owner-operators and charter operators seeking eight-place executive capability with transcontinental reach. Resale and maintenance considerations for N12GS will reflect its 2006 serial 525B0122 age, cumulative cycles, and ongoing supportability of the CitationJet CJ3 platform.
