N394SR

The airframe bearing tail number N394SR is a 2016-built Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) with serial 525C-0226, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is registered to OLD WEST AVIATION LLC, a Limited Liability Company based in Brighton, Michigan, US. As a 2016 example of the CJ4/Citation 525C production run, this airframe represents a mid-cycle model year example and is cataloged with an estimated market value of $7,750,000. No additional public record of other ownership transfers or notable registry actions is published beyond its current limited liability company ownership.

The airframe is typically outfitted in an operator-specific executive configuration described as a Typical 8–10 passenger executive layout (operator-specific fit); the cabin for this particular registration is noted for that standard CJ4 executive arrangement while the aircraft's certified seating capacity is 11. Avionics are listed as Collins Pro Line 21 (typical for CJ4), a common fit that supports high-end business-jet navigation and communications capability. Operationally, the Citation CJ4 airframe with this equipment suite and range of 2,170 nm is suited to short- to medium-haul point-to-point corporate missions, regional charters, and owner-operator use from its home base in Brighton, Michigan. Routine maintenance considerations align with twin-engine light business-jet practices for Williams FJ44 powerplants and Pro Line avionics support.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) occupies the light-cabin, high-performance segment of the business-jet market, offering a cruise near 451 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, positioning it competitively against models such as the Embraer Phenom 300 and Pilatus PC-24 in corporate and charter roles. Its twin Williams FJ44-4A engines provide a balance of efficiency and performance, supporting a typical mission radius compatible with owner-operators and charter operators. Current estimated value of $7,750,000 reflects market demand for late-model CJ4 airframes with Pro Line avionics and executive interiors, and resale considerations typically emphasize engine hours, avionics upgrades, and cabin condition.
