This entry describes airframe N525HX, a 1998-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) with serial number 525-0278, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation Inc.). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is documented as owned by VALIAIR LC TRUSTEE, a Trust based in Ogden, UT, a notable ownership detail for this airframe’s registry history. The airframe’s reported market valuation at the time of the provided data is $2,000,000, and sale/listing notes include specific avionics mixes and interior configuration that bear on its condition and mission readiness.

The cabin of N525HX is a mid-cabin four‑place club with a forward right side‑facing belted seat and an optional belted side‑facing seat in a single‑pilot executive layout, followed by an aft enclosed lavatory and a forward refreshment centre.
