N133GL

This entry covers the airframe bearing registration N133GL, a 1993-built Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 with manufacturer serial 525-0001. The airframe is recorded in the United States registry and is owned by HS AIR LLC (an LLC based in Little Rock, AR, US). As the manufacturer's first production serial, this airframe is notable as the inaugural CitationJet CJ1 fuselage (serial 525-0001) and has a documented market valuation of $1,700,000, reflecting its age and role in the light business-jet sector. Registry status is maintained under US registration and operator basing is listed in Little Rock.

The airframe is configured with an eight-seat cabin consistent with light-cabin CitationJet layout, optimized for short to mid-range corporate and charter missions within its 1,300 nm range and typical cruise of 381 kts. Based in Little Rock under HS AIR LLC, the aircraft is suitable for point-to-point missions across regional networks and domestic U.S. trips up to its service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Avionics fit and specific interior finish details for this serial are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations are influenced by its 1993 build year and unique status as serial 525-0001, which may attract preservation or upgrade attention during scheduled overhauls.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 family produced by Cessna (now Textron Aviation), a light, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet segment aimed at owner-operators and short-haul charter operators. With twin Williams FJ44-1A engines producing 1,965 lbf each, the CJ1 balances fuel efficiency and climb capability to 41,000 ft, competing with contemporaries in the early light-jet market. Resale and maintenance considerations for this particular unit reflect its early serial status and 1993 manufacture date, impacting buyer demand and valuation—expressed here as $1,700,000—and often prompting prospective owners to weigh avionics and interior modernization against operating economics.
