N159JS

This airframe, registered as N159JS, is a 2005-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0038. The jet is registered in the United States and is owned by B&L ADVENTURES LLC, an LLC based in Sealy, TX, US. The aircraft’s documented owner/operator association places it in the light business jet category and its recorded market valuation is $4,170,379. No additional notable registry actions or historic operators are published in the available data; ownership is recorded to the current LLC for operations from its Texas base.

The cabin of this specific CitationJet CJ3 is configured for up to 8 seats, supporting short- to medium-haul corporate and private missions typical of owner-operator use from a Texas home base. The installed avionics conform to the CJ3 original fit, using Collins ProLine 21, with the note that later CJ3+ variants adopted Garmin G3000 upgrades; this airframe is documented with the ProLine 21 suite. Typical missions for this aircraft profile include regional point-to-point travel within the continental U.S., time-sensitive corporate shuttles, and private owner trips consistent with its 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise capability. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Williams FJ44-3A powerplant commonality across the model line and standard business-jet upkeep cycles tied to usage and operator maintenance programs.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light business jet niche, valued for efficient twin-engine performance, a 45,000 ft service ceiling, and a balance of speed and range for regional missions. Competing types in this sector typically include other light-cabin jets offering similar mission-capable ranges and seating for around eight passengers. For buyers and charter operators, the CJ3’s market appeal is influenced by avionics configuration (original Collins ProLine 21 versus later Garmin upgrades), engine maintenance records for the Williams FJ44-3A, and documented airframe age—this example being a 2005 serial 525B0038 with a published valuation of $4,170,379.
