N20VL

The airframe bearing registration N20VL is a 1994-built Cessna Citation CJ1, listed with serial number 525-0069. The aircraft is recorded as owned by the corporation RUSKEN PACKAGING INC, based in Cullman, AL, US, and operates in the United States registry. The airframe’s equipment and configuration reflect a typical CJ1 of its build period, with a reported market valuation of $1,700,000 indicating a used-condition jet consistent with its age and single-corporate ownership. No public record of multiple operators or transfers is noted in the supplied data.

This airframe is outfitted in an executive interior configured for 6–8 passengers with a forward refreshment center and a belted aft lav, matching comparable CJ1 listings rather than a bespoke cabin plan unique to this tail number. Avionics vary by installation; records for similar CJ1 examples show installations such as Collins Pro Line 21 or mixed Honeywell/Collins suites augmented by supplemental Garmin GTN units and ADS‑B capability, indicating common upgrade paths for situational awareness and navigation. Typical missions for this configuration include short to mid‑range corporate transport, single‑leg business travel and light charter operations within the aircraft’s approximately 840 nm range and high-speed cruise of 381 kts from its corporate base in Cullman, Alabama. Maintenance considerations reflect standard CJ1 practices for twin‑engine light jets of this vintage, with systems and avionics upgrades commonly applied to maintain regulatory compliance and marketability.

The Cessna Citation CJ1 (Model 525) occupies the light, short‑to‑mid‑range business jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speeds and a 41,000 ft service ceiling for efficient point‑to‑point operations. Its primary competitors are other light jets in the early private jet segment; buyer and charter demand for CJ1s is typically driven by lower operating costs, compact field performance and availability of affordable used examples—factors reflected in the $1,700,000 valuation for this 1994 airframe. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine support for the Williams FJ44 family and avionics upgrade history, both of which materially influence marketability for aircraft of this serial and build year.
