N479MJ

This airframe, registered as N479MJ, is a 2007-built Cessna Citation CJ3 with serial number 525B0132. The jet is owned by MJ AVIATION LLC, an Alabama-based limited liability company located in Montgomery, AL, and is registered for operation in the US. The airframe’s registry history is straightforward with no published record of multiple ownership transfers; it remains under the single-entity ownership of MJ AVIATION LLC, retaining U.S. registration throughout its documented life. Valuation and condition highlights list the aircraft at an estimated market value of $5,000,000, reflecting typical mid-life pricing for this category and configuration.

The subject airframe is outfitted in an 8-place executive layout (typical for this airframe type), indicating a standard light business jet interior optimized for short to medium-haul corporate transport. Operationally the Cessna Citation CJ3 is commonly used for cross-country missions within North America, supporting point-to-point executive travel consistent with the listed 2,040 nm range and 416 kts cruise speed. The aircraft’s twin Williams FJ44-3A engines provide the performance to operate to higher-altitude airports and to a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, while maintenance considerations follow light-jet practices for scheduled engine and airframe checks under FAA oversight. Based at Montgomery, AL by its owner-operator, this airframe is configured to serve private corporate or charter roles from its home region.

As a member of the Citation CJ family, the Cessna Citation CJ3 occupies the light business jet niche, balancing modest acquisition cost with respectable range and cruise performance for eight passengers. Competing models in similar missions include other light-to-midsize jets; buyer and charter demand typically centers on proven reliability, operational economics, and low-hour examples. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect its 2007 vintage, twin Williams FJ44-3A powerplants, and the estimated $5,000,000 market value, which together influence operator decisions on upgrades, avionics retrofits, and lifecycle maintenance planning.
