N45DF

This airframe, registered as N45DF, is a Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+ (CitationJet 2) built in 2008 with serial number 525A0430. It is listed as owned by FORCOUNTRY LLC, an LLC based in Hudson, OH, US, and operates on a United States civil registration. The airframe is a factory-built CJ2+ variant produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is powered by two Williams turbofan engines; registry records identify the aircraft as owner-operated under an LLC rather than a large charter company. No major publicized incidents or transfers are reported in the supplied data, and maintenance/condition highlights are limited to operator-configurable cabin and avionics entries provided by the owner.

The aircraft is configured with an executive 6–8 passenger layout (operator-configurable), indicating flexibility between a typical six-seat executive club arrangement and an eight-seat high-density executive layout depending on operator needs. Avionics are reported to include Collins avionics components with a TCAS/Mode-S transponder listed, though the supplied data notes that the exact fit is operator-specific and may vary from unit to unit. Typical mission profiles for this CJ2+ airframe include short to medium-range business or owner-flown trips within its 1,450 nm range at cruise speeds around 413 kts, operating from the owner’s home base in Hudson, Ohio. Maintenance considerations follow light business-jet practices for the Williams FJ44 series and fleet-standard Collins avionics support, with specific operator schedules dependent on LLC management decisions.

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+ sits in the light-cabin business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes compared with piston or turboprop aircraft while remaining more economical to operate than larger midsize jets. Competing models in its era include other light jets powered by similar low-thrust turbofans; buyer and charter demand typically favors the CJ2+ for short to mid-range point-to-point executive missions. From a maintenance and resale perspective, airframes with Williams FJ44-3A engines and Collins avionics generally maintain healthy support networks, though actual market valuation and demand for N45DF will reflect specific avionics fit, interior condition, and maintenance history as managed by FORCOUNTRY LLC.
