Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N21GV is a 2009-built light business jet, serial 525B0301, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) as a Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3. The aircraft is recorded as owned by VILDOSOLA AVIATION LLC (an LLC registered in Wilmington, DE, US) and bears a US registration. Its market valuation is listed at $4,800,000, reflecting the airframe's age and configuration as an eight-place executive jet. No additional publicized changes of ownership or notable registry actions are recorded in the supplied data.

This specific CJ3 is equipped with an 8-place executive cabin, indicating a typical executive layout optimized for passenger comfort on short- to medium-range missions. Detailed avionics fit and interior finish levels are not published in the supplied data, so specific systems or bespoke cabin amenities cannot be confirmed here. With a 2,040 nm range and cruise of 416 knots, the aircraft is suited to regional point-to-point business travel and can support typical owner/operator mission profiles such as business shuttles and light charter work from its owner’s base in Wilmington, DE, US. Maintenance considerations align with the CJ3 platform’s twin Williams FJ44-3A turbofan engines and age-related inspection items consistent with a 2009 serial.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light jet segment, offering a combination of transregional range and elevated cruise performance relative to earlier CJ models. With two Williams FJ44-3A engines producing 2,820 lbf each, the type targets owners seeking efficient short-field capability and low operating costs compared with larger midsize jets. Competing aircraft in the category typically include other light-cabin business jets with similar seat counts and range; resale value and demand are influenced by factors such as cumulative cycles, avionics upgrades, and interior condition—variables not detailed in the provided data. The listed $4,800,000 valuation reflects market positioning for a 2009 CJ3 in serviceable executive configuration.
