N505SJ

This airframe, registered as N505SJ, is a 1994-built Cessna 525 (Citation CJ1) with serial number 525-0051. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by MIDJE LLC, a corporation based in Humboldt, Tennessee, US; the registration shows the entity as operator/home base in that locality. There are no public records of multiple prior owners in the supplied data, and no specific incident history is noted here. The airframe is valued at $1,700,000, reflecting its age, configuration and typical market comparables for early Citation CJ1s.

The cabin is reported as a conventional light-executive Citation layout with a 4-place club configuration, a single forward-facing passenger seat and a belted aft lavatory; the aircraft is registered for up to 8 seats. Avionics fit is described broadly as a Sperry SPZ-5000 IFCS combined with Collins-style avionics and optional Avidyne GPS/FMS elements; specific as-equipped instrument suites can vary between listings. Typical missions for this airframe include short-to-medium intrastate and regional executive trips consistent with the CJ1’s performance — business travel, on-demand charter and owner-operated repositioning flights originating from the operator’s base in Humboldt, TN. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow the Citation CJ1 schedule and the Williams FJ44-1A engine support processes; no unique modifications or amenities beyond the reported cabin and avionics are specified.

The Cessna 525 (Citation CJ1) family occupies the light business jet niche, offering compact executive transport with efficient turbofan engines and single-pilot capability for many operators. Comparable competitors include early-generation Learjet 31/35 variants and the Eclipse 500/Phenom class in mission scope, though differences in range and payload exist. For buyers and charter operators, age-related maintenance, avionics retrofits and engine time are principal resale and operating considerations; the reported $1,700,000 valuation corresponds to common market pricing for well-maintained CJ1 airframes of this vintage.
