N525CH

This entry documents airframe N525CH, a factory-built Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (CJ1) constructed by Cessna (Textron Aviation) in 1994, serial number 525-0078. The airframe is owned by REBUS II LLC, an LLC based in Owasso, OK, US, and currently registered in the US registry. Known registry details for this specific aircraft indicate private corporate ownership with typical business-jet utilization; ownership transfer to REBUS II LLC is the principal recorded change in the aircraft's administrative history. At the time of the latest valuation provided, the airframe is listed at $1,700,000, a figure reflecting age, configuration, and market factors noted for early CJ1 examples.

The aircraft is outfitted in a typical executive interior for the CJ1 class, described as a 5–8-place executive club layout with a forward galley and an aft belted lavatory; the configuration for N525CH may vary with interior refreshes. Avionics equipment for the airframe is commonly a Collins Pro Line 21 suite, acknowledging that individual fit and updates can differ from one CJ1 to another. Operationally, this airframe’s performance—moderate transcontinental range with high cruise speed and 41,000 ft service ceiling—suits short to mid-range corporate missions and on-demand charter work originating from its owner/operator base in Owasso, OK, US. Maintenance considerations align with typical CJ1 programs, including turbine engine monitoring for the twin Williams FJ44-1A powerplants and avionics life-cycle updates.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (CJ1) occupies a light-cabin, light-twin turbofan niche, prized for economical operating costs and high cruise speeds for its class. Competing models historically include other light-cabin jets offering similar mission capability; buyer and charter demand focuses on cost-effective short- to mid-range point-to-point travel. For a 1994-built example like N525CH, resale and maintenance prospects hinge on engine TBO status, avionics upgrades (notably Pro Line 21 refresh or retrofit), and interior condition, factors that together influence valuations around the provided $1,700,000 estimate.
