Delivered new to corporate ownership, it is owned and operated by SOUTHERN PIPE & SUPPLY CO INC of Meridian, MS, US, and remains on the U.S. civil register (US). Theaircraft’s contemporary condition and recent manufacture underpin an estimated market valuation of $6,000,000. No public record of multiple ownership transfers is noted; the airframe appears retained by the original corporate owner since delivery.

This specific CJ3 is equipped in the standard executive arrangement comparable to the typical 6–7 passenger layout while accommodating a total of 8 seats as listed, providing flexibility between passenger and light-cargo configurations. Avionics are the factory-installed Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, supporting modern flight management, navigation, and situational awareness suited to corporate transport. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-haul executive travel within the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and cruise at 416 kts, routinely operating to and from the owner’s base in Meridian, MS, US. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Williams FJ44-3A engines and Pro Line 21 suite, which align with established service networks and common-line replaceable components for the CJ3 series.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) occupies the light-cabin, high-performance niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation family, offering transregional speed and access to smaller fields with a 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models serve similar missions, and buyer or charter demand for late-build CJ3s centers on cost-effective operating economics and modern avionics like the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21. For resale and maintenance planning, this 2023 airframe’s recent manufacture and single corporate ownership support favorable appeal, while typical considerations include engine time tracking for the Williams FJ44-3A pair and adherence to factory-recommended inspections.
