Ownership for the aircraft is listed to LR FORAGE HARVESTING LLC, an LLC based in Energy, TX, US, which serves as the operator/home base for normal operations.

The cabin of this specific CJ3+ is configured in a typical 6–8 passenger executive club layout with a forward galley and external baggage provision; the listed seating capacity is 8. The flight deck fit for this airframe follows the Collins / Rockwell Collins avionics suite that is standard in the CJ3+ fit, supporting typical single-pilot or two-pilot regional business operations depending on operator procedures. Typical mission profiles for the airframe combine short- to mid-range point‑to‑point executive transport—leveraging a 2,040 nm range and cruise speed near 416 kts—with operations based from its registered location in Energy, Texas. Maintenance considerations align with light business jet practices for the Williams FJ44 engine family and CJ3+ airframe commonality, with external baggage access and a forward galley supporting executive use.

The Cessna Citation CJ3+ (Model 525B) occupies the light-cabin, high-performance segment, offering transcontinental capability for its class with a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and efficient Williams FJ44 propulsion. Competing models in this niche include other light jets that balance range and cabin comfort; demand from owner-operators and charter operators tends to favor CJ3+ examples for their avionics commonality and reliability. From a resale and maintenance perspective, the CJ3+ benefits from established Textron support and parts availability, while values such as $8,475,000 reflect market placement for well-equipped, maintained airframes with the Collins/Rockwell Collins flight deck and typical executive interiors.
