N137BG

This entry documents airframe N137BG, a 2005-built Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) with serial number 525B0032. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by CROELL AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in New Hampton, IA, US. Ownership has been recorded to this single corporate owner at the listed home base, and the airframe carries a market valuation of $4,700,000 in current listings. The airframe’s configuration and registry data indicate it operates as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet under corporate control.

The cabin of this particular Citation CJ3 airframe is configured for an 8-seat layout typical of light business jets in this class, supporting corporate and owner-flown missions rather than high-density passenger service. Avionics fit for the Model 525B generally supports single-pilot or two-pilot operations with modern glass cockpit suites; specific avionics for N137BG are not published in the supplied data. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include regional business travel and point-to-point trips within the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and cruise speed near 416 kts, enabling transcontinental light-jet legs and efficient short international hops. Maintenance considerations follow the CJ3 program and Williams FJ44-3A engine support schedules under the owning LLC’s maintenance program.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) occupies the light-cabin, light-jet performance niche, offering a balance of cruise speed, range, and operating economics. Competing models in the segment include other light-cabin jets offering similar payload-range tradeoffs, and the CJ3’s 45,000 ft ceiling and Williams FJ44-3A propulsion contribute to favorable operating altitudes and climb performance. Buyer and charter demand for well-maintained CJ3 airframes remains steady owing to their usability for regional corporate transport; resale and maintenance considerations for N137BG will reflect engine time, avionics fit and logbook completeness, factors typical for valuation near its listed $4,700,000 price point.
