N329BH

The airframe bearing tail number N329BH is a 2008-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with serial number 525B0292. It is registered in the United States and is owned by JOS AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Conrad, IA, US. The airframe’s public record shows standard registry status for a U.S.-registered light business jet and a market valuation estimated at $4,500,000. Owned and operated from Conrad, Iowa by JOS AVIATION LLC, the aircraft presents as a typical corporate CJ3 example with no publicly documented special modifications or major registry actions.

The aircraft is configured in an 8-seat executive layout, a common arrangement for Cessna 525B/CJ3 airframes, although a specific internal refit for this tail is not publicly documented. Its avionics suite is recorded as the Collins Pro Line 21 typical fit for 525B/CJ3 models, supporting single-pilot or two-pilot operational profiles and modern flight management capabilities. Typical missions for this CJ3 airframe include regional corporate transport, owner-flown business trips, and on-demand charter legs within its 2,040 nm range and cruise speed of 416 kts, often operating to and from regional U.S. airports in support of the owner’s operations. Maintenance considerations align with light twin‑engine turbine schedules for the Williams FJ44-3A powerplants and factory-recommended airframe inspections for a 2008 model.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light jet niche for short- to mid-range business travel, offering single-pilot capability, efficient Williams FJ44 propulsion, and access to smaller airports. Competing models typically include other light jets in the same class, where buyers select on operating cost, cabin comfort, and range; this airframe’s 2,040 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling keep it competitive. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2008 CJ3 center on engine life cycles, avionics upgrades (despite the existing Collins Pro Line 21 fit), and airframe corrosion and inspection history, all factors that inform valuations near the reported $4,500,000 figure.
