N287N

The airframe with tail number N287N is a 2020-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ bearing serial number 525B0610, manufactured by Textron Aviation (Cessna). The jet is owned by Nicholas Services LLC, a corporation based in Oxford, MS, US, and is registered in the US. Registered to Nicholas Services LLC in Oxford, Mississippi shortly after manufacture, the airframe's contemporary valuation is listed at $8,500,000, reflecting its recent-build condition and the CJ3+ pedigree.

This airframe is outfitted internally for business and executive transport with a typical complement of 2 cockpit crew plus 6–8 executive seats arranged in a club/forward layout, an enclosed lavatory, and approximately 65 cu ft of baggage capacity. The installed avionics suite is the Garmin G3000 in the CJ3+ configuration, supporting advanced flight management, touchscreen controls, and integrated displays suited for single-pilot ops where applicable, though this aircraft is configured for two crew. Typical missions for this airframe include short- to medium-range corporate travel and on-demand charter legs up to its 2,070 nm range at a cruise near 416 kts, operating from its Oxford, Mississippi base for regional or transcontinental routing as mission requirements dictate. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow CJ3+ schedules and Williams FJ44-3A program requirements; its recent manufacture year implies lower time-since-new on consumables and engine cycles relative to older fleet examples.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ occupies the light-cabin, long-range end of the light jet market, offering transcontinental capability for owners needing flexibility without stepping into midsize class operating costs. Competitors include later-model Embraer Phenom 300s and other light jets that emphasize speed and runway performance; the CJ3+ is noted for a favorable balance of range (2,070 nm) and cabin accommodations (club seating, enclosed lavatory). For buyers and charter operators, considerations when acquiring a 2020 CJ3+ like N287N include continuing avionics support for the Garmin G3000, Williams engine program enrollment, and residual-value stability driven by low-cycle, late-build examples commanding premium pricing reflected in its approximately $8,500,000 valuation.
