Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N420CX is a 2008-built example of the Cessna Citation CJ4 (525A), serial number 525A0420, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). It is registered in the US and is registered to SUPERBIRD ICC LLC, a corporation based in Mitchell, South Dakota, which appears as the current owner on record. The airframe's US registration and corporate ownership indicate an operator/home base relationship centered in Mitchell, SD, and there are no other published registry actions or historic transfers in the provided data. Valuation and condition highlights for this specific aircraft list an estimated market value of $6,200,000, reflecting its late-2000s vintage and executive configuration.

The cabin of N420CX is outfitted in an executive 8-seat layout featuring corporate executive seating, a refreshment/galley, and a belted lavatory option, configured for passenger comfort on business missions. Avionics are the standard CJ4 fitment, the Collins Pro Line 21, supporting typical corporate IFR operations and common regional and transcontinental routings within the aircraft's range. With a cruise speed of 400 kts and a range of 1,926 nm, the airframe is well suited to point-to-point corporate travel, air-taxi, and private charter missions originating from its operator base in Mitchell, SD. Maintenance considerations follow common light-jet practices for twin Williams FJ44-series engines and CJ4 systems; no unique maintenance history is published in the provided dataset.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (525A) occupies the light-cabin, high-performance segment of the business jet market, offering a balance of speed, range, and operating economics for owner-operators and charter operators. Competing models in the class typically include light-to-midsize jets with similar single-pilot capability and modern avionics; the CJ4’s Collins Pro Line 21 suite and two Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines provide reliable performance up to 45,000 ft. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2008 serial 525A0420 emphasize engine time, avionics updates, and cabin refurbishment relative to its $6,200,000 valuation.
