Model & Market Context
N17VB is a 1997 Cessna 525 CitationJet 1, MSN 525-0206, currently registered to John C. Mast of Nacogdoches, TX.
The aircraft is a two‑engine turbo‑fan light business jet typically configured for up to eight seats under its current US registration; the airframe is equipped with Williams FJ44 series engines and a single‑pilot capable cockpit in common CJ1 configuration. Recent ADS‑B/flight tracking history shows local regional flights between Beaumont (BPT) and Nacogdoches (OCH) on 20 Nov 2025, consistent with local owner/operator movement.
The Citation CJ1 (Cessna 525) is the smallest model in the CitationJet family, powered by two Williams FJ44 turbofans (approx. 1,900–1,965 lbf thrust each) with a certified service ceiling near 41,000 ft, typical cruise in the high 300s kt, and IFR mission ranges commonly cited around 1,200–1,300 nm depending on payload and reserves. The CJ1 was positioned as a light, efficient entry‑level business jet competing on operating costs and short‑field performance; market values for airframes of this vintage generally sit in the low‑to‑mid single‑million dollar range depending on avionics and maintenance status.
