N12SS

The airframe bearing tail number N12SS is a 2016-built Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C-0219) manufactured by Textron Aviation (Cessna Aircraft Company). The aircraft is owned by SHOE SHOW INC (a corporation) and is registered in the United States with an operator/home base listed as Concord, NC, US. Maintenance and registry records for this specific airframe indicate a current estimated market valuation of $7,900,000, and the single known ownership entry reflects corporate possession rather than individual or fractional ownership. No further notable registry actions or prior operators are published in the provided data.

The airframe is typically furnished in an executive cabin format with a 6–8 place club seating arrangement and a forward galley; internal layout allowances include a dedicated 77 cu ft baggage compartment. The installation is certified for single-pilot operation, enabling corporate operations with reduced flightcrew requirements when crew qualifications and regulatory approvals are met. Avionics fit for this specific CJ4 is the Collins Pro Line 21 suite with four portrait-format displays, supporting integrated navigation, communications, and systems monitoring suitable for high-performance business missions. Given its range and cruise speed, typical missions for this airframe are midsize corporate trips within continental ranges, flown from its Concord, NC base, with the cabin and avionics geared toward short- to medium-haul executive transport and light-on-demand charter operations.

As a member of the Citation CJ4 (525C) family, this airframe occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability on domestic U.S. routes at a high cruise speed and substantial operational ceiling. Competing models in the same market segment tend to offer similar single-pilot certification options and comparable cruise performance; buyer demand often focuses on avionics suites like the Collins Pro Line 21, cabin flexibility, and engine economics tied to the Williams FJ44-4A powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific 2016 airframe center on engine life, avionics currency, and the corporate ownership history reflected in registry records.
