N285FW

This entry documents airframe N285FW, a 2008-built Cessna Citation CJ2+ (Model 525A) with serial number 525A0424. The aircraft is manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US. It is registered to DEPLOYMENT LOGISTICS LLC, an LLC based in San Marcos, TX, US, and the registry lists an 8-seat configuration; there are no additional notable registry events published. Current valuation for this specific airframe is listed at $3,800,000, reflecting its age and configuration.

The cabin of N285FW is configured in an 8-passenger executive layout consistent with registry records and is intended for short to mid-range business transport missions. Specific avionics fit and interior finish details are not published for this airframe; typical operations for this configuration emphasize high-speed regional hops enabled by a cruise of 418 kts and a range of 1,781 nm. Based in San Marcos, TX, the owner/operator profile indicates corporate or LLC-operated business use rather than scheduled airline service. Routine maintenance considerations for this airframe center on twin Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines and airframe inspections typical for a 2008-built light business jet.

As a member of the Citation CJ2+ (Model 525A) family, N285FW occupies the light-cabin, multi-engine business jet niche, offering transregional capability with a high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling. With seating for 8 and a listed value of $3,800,000, this airframe balances operating economics and performance attractive to corporate owners and charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations reflect typical lifecycle factors for a 2008 airframe powered by Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines, where engine maintenance status and records materially affect marketability.
