Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N521PF is a Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 built in 1993 with serial number 525-0005. It is recorded as owned by ALTON BLAKLEY AVIATION INC, a corporation based in Somerset, KY, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe is valued at $2,200,000 in the supplied data, and its recorded configuration and reported equipment suggest a well-maintained light business jet consistent with typical CJ1 retrofit practices. No other historic transfers or notable registry actions are provided beyond the current corporate ownership.
The cabin for this airframe is reported in the common CJ1 executive club layout typically configured for 5–6 pax, although the airframe has 8 certified seats; many CJ1s carry an executive club fit with a belted aft lavatory and a forward refreshment center as reported across the model line. Avionics are noted as a typical retrofit with Collins Pro Line 21, a common upgrade for CJ1 airframes that affects mission capability and maintenance profile. Based in Somerset, KY, the operator profile and the aircraft's range of 1,248 nm and cruise of 365 kts indicate missions concentrated on short-to-mid-range business travel. The presence of retrofit avionics and cabin amenities implies routine upgrade and maintenance cycles consistent with corporate operation.
The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 occupies the light business jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speed and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft for short regional missions. With an eight-seat certification and the common executive club interior, the CJ1 appeals to operators seeking compact cabin comfort and efficient regional performance. The use of Williams FJ44-1A engines and common Collins Pro Line 21 avionics retrofits influences maintenance planning and aftermarket value; the listed valuation of $2,200,000 reflects market considerations for older CJ1 airframes with such equipment and corporate ownership.
