The listed owner is HUFF AIR LLC, an LLC based in Uvalde, TX, US, which appears as the current registrant in US civil aircraft records. No prior ownership timeline or other registry actions are published in the supplied data, and the specific maintenance history or damage history for this tail is not provided. The aircraft is valued at $1,700,000, a figure that reflects the single-airframe valuation supplied rather than a broad-market appraisal.

The listed cabin for the model is a typical 6–8 place executive layout featuring double-club seating, a forward refreshment center, and an aft belted lavatory; however, the actual interior fit for N28QA is not published in the registry. The typical avionics fit for a CJ1 is Collins Pro Line 21, noted as the OEM configuration; many CJ1 airframes have had retrofit Garmin/GTN options, but retrofit status for this specific airframe is not provided. With an 8-seat certification and a 1,248 nm range, operational missions for this airframe under HUFF AIR LLC would generally include short- to mid-range executive transport, shuttle and on-demand charter patterns, and company transport based out of Uvalde, Texas. No unique onboard amenities or specific maintenance exceptions are listed for this aircraft in the provided data.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche with modest operating costs, transcontinental hop capability within its range, and single-pilot certification on many examples (status of this airframe not provided). Competing types in the same segment include other light jets offering similar speed and range; resale value and buyer demand are influenced by avionics fit, interior condition, and engine life—parameters not specified here for N28QA. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial (5250215) would typically focus on Williams FJ44 life-limited items, avionics retrofit potential from Collins Pro Line 21 to modern GNSS/GTN suites, and the airframe’s assessed market value of $1,700,000.
