Model & Market Context
N179WC is a 2005 Cessna Citation CJ3 (525B) serial 525B-0025 currently registered in the United States. The airframe carries a mid‑cabin executive layout and a 2018 Duncan interior; exterior base paint is Matterhorn White with Fighter Blue and Arista Blue striping. The aircraft has been marketed for sale and shows active operations in late 2025 between Little Rock (KLIT) and Destin (KDSI).
Configured as an executive 7-seat/crew-2 layout with forward galley and aft lavatory, the airframe is tracked on a Williams TAP Blue engine maintenance program and equipped with Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics, Collins TCAS II, Honeywell EGPWS and Gogo ATG‑5000 connectivity. Engines are Williams FJ44 series turbofans with dual‑engine FADEC; the listing shows engine serials 141057/141058 and airframe totals consistent with an actively operated light business jet.
The Citation CJ3 (525B family) is a light business jet introduced as an evolution of the CJ2/CJ series, notable for single‑pilot certification, strong runway performance and efficient Williams FJ44 engines. Typical mission profiles are city‑pair business trips up to ~2,000 nm, shuttle and owner‑operator use; the CJ3 competes in the light‑jet segment on speed, operating cost and runway field‑length capability. N179WC's configuration and avionics package position it as a marketable CJ3 example for charter or owner‑operator operations.
