N242KV

The airframe bearing tail number N242KV is a 2008-built Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B), serial 525B0242, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). Currently owned by EVV AIR LLC, an LLC based in Missoula, MT, US, the type is registered in the US and maintained in the executive light-jet category. FAA records for this specific airframe show an eight-seat configuration, and the airframe’s market valuation is listed at $4,500,000. No additional historic registry events are published beyond the present ownership and registration details.

The cabin is fitted in a typical six–eight-place executive layout with the FAA record for this airframe confirming 8 seats, supporting corporate or light charter missions with a focused executive interior. Avionics for the platform are indicated as Collins Pro Line 21 in the typical CJ3 fit, noting that some CJ3s may receive aftermarket avionics upgrades; no specific modification history beyond the standard fit is published for this airframe. With a cruise speed of 416 kts and a ferry/mission range of 2,040 nm, operations for N242KV are suited to medium-haul corporate trips, regional shuttle duties, and owner-operator missions based from its Missoula, MT home base. Maintenance considerations follow the CJ3 model’s twin Williams FJ44-3A engine type and typical inspection cycles for fixed-wing multi-engine executive aircraft.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering transregional performance with a 45,000 ft ceiling and efficient Williams FJ44-series powerplants. Competing aircraft in its class emphasize similar short-field performance and owner-operator economics; typical demand centers on owner-pilots, small charter operators, and corporate flight departments. Resale and maintenance prospects for this specific airframe are influenced by its 2008 manufacture date, eight-seat executive cabin, documented Collins Pro Line 21 avionics fit, and the stated valuation of $4,500,000.
