N157TW

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N157TW, a 2007-built light business jet with serial 525B0157. The aircraft is a Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US. The listed owner is HF AIR LLC, an LLC based in Fresno, CA, and the airframe appears in public listings with an indicated market valuation of $5,450,000. Registration and ownership records show this airframe operated from Fresno, California under the LLC’s registration; no other historical transfers are published in the supplied data.

The cabin of N157TW conforms to the typical executive club layout for the model, configured for 7–8 passenger accommodation with forward and aft seating and an enclosed lavatory. Avionics fit on listings for this airframe are shown as Collins Pro Line 21 IFCS, a flight deck suite that supports advanced flight management and avionics integration suitable for single-pilot or two-pilot operations in the light-jet category. Typical missions for this airframe type and its configuration emphasize short-to-medium haul executive transport, regional hops and on-demand charter work within the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and cruise speed of 416 kts. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft follow the CJ3 family practice, driven by the twin Williams FJ44-3A engines and the avionics suite installed.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) occupies a performance niche as a light, entry-level midsize business jet offering transcontinental regional capability with economical operating costs relative to larger jets. Key competitors in the segment include other light-cabin jets that balance speed, range and single-pilot certification options. For buyers and charter operators, resale value and maintenance planning hinge on engine time on the twin FJ44-3A powerplants, avionics updates such as the Collins Pro Line 21 IFCS, and the airframe’s maintenance and ownership history as reflected in the 525B0157 serial record.
