N508EA

The airframe bearing tail number N508EA is a 2008-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3, serial 525B-0187, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation Inc.). The aircraft is owned by DODSON INTERNATIONAL PARTS INC, a corporation based in Rantoul, KS, US, and is registered in the US. Notable registry and ownership history for this airframe centers on its corporate ownership by Dodson International, and its market valuation is estimated at $4,000,000 reflecting a 2008 CJ3 in typical condition for its vintage.

This airframe is outfitted in a typical 6–8 place executive cabin configuration, described as a Typical 6–8 place executive layout (club seating, forward refreshment, enclosed lavatory), and is intended to serve executive/corporate missions consistent with its eight-seat certification. Avionics fit for this 2008 CJ3 conform to the period installation of Collins ProLine 21 (typical for 2008 CJ3 installations), providing modern flight management, communication, and navigation functionality as originally equipped. With a long-range capability of 2,040 nm and an economy cruise near 416 kts, this specific airframe is suitable for single-leg corporate flights and regional point-to-point missions operated from its owner’s base in Rantoul, KS, US. Maintenance planning follows standard CJ3 practices for twin Williams FJ44-3A engines and airframe systems typical of this serial.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, long-range end of the Citation family, offering efficiency and runway performance advantageous to corporate operators who require up to eight seats and transcontinental regional range. Competitors in the market niche include other light-cabin business jets that balance speed and operating cost; resale value considerations for this 2008 airframe are reflected in the $4,000,000 valuation and are influenced by engine cycle status, avionics configuration such as the Collins ProLine 21, and overall maintenance history under corporate ownership by DODSON INTERNATIONAL PARTS INC.
