N26RL

The airframe bearing registration N26RL is a 1997-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1), serial number 525-0207, delivered as part of the late-1990s CJ1 production run. The airframe is currently recorded as owned by JS AIRCRAFT LLC, an LLC based in Eden, NC, US, and operated from that home base for corporate and light charter missions. There are no publicly listed major registry actions or ownership transfers beyond its current registration; it remains on the U.S. registry under the noted LLC. Condition and valuation specifics for this individual airframe are not published in the supplied data.

This specific Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) airframe is configured for an eight-seat executive layout typical of early CJ1 deliveries, providing a compact corporate cabin suitable for short-to-medium stage missions. With a maximum cruise near 404 kts and a ferry range around 1,550 nm, its mission profile generally encompasses regional business travel and on-demand charter hops from its base in Eden, North Carolina. The twin Williams FJ44 turbofan fit emphasizes fuel efficiency and low-noise operation for its class, with maintenance considerations aligning with series-common engine shop visit intervals and parts support typical of late-1990s Cessna light jets. No specific avionics fit or interior refurbishment history is provided for this airframe.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche, offering rapid point-to-point travel under 1,600 nm with modest operating costs relative to larger cabin jets. It competes historically with other light jets of the era and later entry-level CJ variants, attracting buyers seeking runway performance and efficient twin-FJ44 powerplants. For this 1997 serial 525-0207, maintenance pedigree and avionics updates materially affect resale value and charter demand, while operator continuity under JS AIRCRAFT LLC supports localized operational stability.
