N487TT

This entry covers airframe N487TT, a factory-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 completed in 2005 with serial number 525B0022. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by THOMPSON TRACTOR CO INC, a corporation based in Birmingham, AL, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the jet. No public record of additional ownership transfers or notable registry actions is provided for this specific tail number; valuation and detailed condition statements are not published. The aircraft’s factory configuration and civil registration indicate it has been operated in an executive transport role under corporate registry.

The cabin of N487TT is fitted in a typical executive configuration for the model, accommodating a 6–8 passenger center-club arrangement with a forward refreshment area and an aft belted lavatory option, supporting corporate shuttles, business travel, and short to mid-range missions. Operated from Birmingham, AL, US, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with point-to-point domestic and near-international hops within its published range, emphasizing speed and flexibility for a small corporate flight department. Specific avionics fit and maintenance schedules for this airframe are not published; routine operator maintenance and adherence to factory service bulletins and Williams engine programs would be expected for continued corporate use. The cabin plan supports typical executive amenity requirements while preserving payload and range efficiency.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 sits in the light jet category, offering a combination of elevated cruise speed, transcontinental-ish range for light jets, and access to shorter runways. With twin Williams FJ44-3A engines producing 2,820 lbf each, the model targets owners and charter operators seeking fast, efficient short- to medium-haul point-to-point capability. Competitors in its segment include other light-cabin business jets with similar speed and range profiles. For buyers and operators of this airframe, considerations typically center on engine program enrollment, airframe interior condition, and how the specific cabin layout meets corporate mission needs, factors directly relevant to resale and charter demand.
