N379B

The airframe bearing tail number N379B is a Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) built in 2008 with serial number 525B0212. The aircraft is owned by BUCKLE INC, a corporation based in Kearney, NE, US, and is registered in the US. This specific CJ3 example is an original-model airframe equipped to the typical factory specification and carries a market valuation reported at $4,250,000. Registered to BUCKLE INC in Kearney, NE, the airframe’s public record shows standard corporate ownership without publicly noted exceptional registry actions or incidents.

The cabin of this airframe conforms to the typical executive club layout for the type, accommodating six to eight passengers with a manufacturer-stated cabin length of 15 ft 8 in, width of 58 in, and height of 57 in, yielding a compact but business-oriented environment. Avionics on original CJ3 examples are typically the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, a configuration that supports common corporate and charter mission avionics requirements. With a cruise speed of 416 kts and a ferry range of 2,040 nm, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range corporate missions, regional business travel, and efficient point-to-point charters from its operator base in Kearney, NE. Routine maintenance considerations for this airframe follow the established CJ3 schedules for Williams FJ44-3A engines and Part 135/91-type corporate operation standards typical of US-registered light business jets.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) occupies the light-cabin, high-performance segment of business jets, offering single-pilot capability in many operators’ configurations and strong short-field performance. With twin Williams FJ44-3A engines delivering 2,820 lbf each, the model competes with aircraft like the Embraer Phenom 300 and Learjet 45 in range, speed, and operating economics. Demand in resale and charter markets for well-equipped CJ3s remains steady among corporate buyers and charter operators seeking a balance of cabin comfort, runway performance, and modest acquisition cost; the present valuation of $4,250,000 for this 2008 serial reflects those market dynamics and the airframe’s configuration.
