N525KD

The airframe bearing registration N525KD is a Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 built in 2007 with serial number 525B0126. It is recorded as owned by Data Center Services Leasing LLC, a corporation based in Salem, OR, US, and remains registered in the US. The type and condition place this specific airframe within a modern light-citation category typical of mid-2000s production; its listed market value is $4,500,000. No additional public registry events or operator changes are published beyond the current corporate ownership.

The cabin of this CJ3 is outfitted in a typical executive configuration with a 6–8 place layout, incorporating a forward refreshment center and an aft belted lavatory to support short to medium-haul executive transport missions. Avionics on this 2007 airframe are noted as the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, a common factory fit for CJ3s of that vintage, although some CJ3s receive later retrofits to Garmin G3000 as part of CJ3+ conversions; this specific airframe is documented with the Pro Line 21 fitment. Operationally the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and cruise of 416 kts indicate use in point-to-point corporate and charter missions within continental ranges, typically flown from its owner's home region in Salem, OR, US. Maintenance considerations follow light-citation multi-engine norms for Williams FJ44-powered airframes and executive interior upkeep.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light, high-performance end of Cessna’s small-cabin business jet family, combining transcontinental-ish range with high single-flight speeds and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in-market address similar eight-seat executive missions and prospective buyers or charter operators evaluate CJ3s on cabin flexibility, avionics capability, and engine lifecycle economics tied to the Williams FJ44-3A. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2007 CJ3 like N525KD typically hinge on avionics modernization (Pro Line 21 versus G3000 retrofits), engine and APU hours, and interior refurbishment status, all factors affecting liquidity relative to the listed $4,500,000 valuation.
