N525ME

This entry documents airframe N525ME, a 2001-built Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 with serial number 525A-0032. The aircraft is owned by AIR SHINE LLC, a limited liability company based in Madisonville, Kentucky, and is registered in the US. There are no public records here of multiple prior owners or dramatic registry actions; the value is listed at $2,200,000, reflecting a market assessment for a CJ2 of this vintage and configuration. The airframe’s basic condition and active status are implied by registered ownership and typical operational parameters provided.

The typical cabin arrangement for a CJ2 is reported as a six-place centre-club layout with a forward refreshment center and an aft belted lavatory; the specific fit for N525ME is noted as not publicly listed but follows that standard CJ2 design intent. Avionics fit for this airframe are not detailed in the available data, so mission equipment and specific panel configurations remain unreported. Operationally, the CJ2 class is commonly employed on short- to medium-range business missions, regional charter tasks, and owner-flown transport; with a cruise of 410 kts and range of 1,781 nm, N525ME is suited to city-pair hops and transregional missions from its Madisonville, Kentucky base. Maintenance considerations align with light-jet multi-engine practices for Williams FJ44-powered Citations, with particular attention to engine cycle tracking and avionics lifecycle for continued charter or corporate use.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 occupies the light-jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and altitude capability than earlier Citationjets while remaining economical to operate for small-group transport. Competitors in the same mission segment include early-generation Embraer Phenom 100/300 variants and other light-cabin business jets. Buyer and charter demand for a 2001 CJ2 typically emphasize low-time engines, documented maintenance, and interior condition; resale value around $2,200,000 reflects age, configuration, and the ongoing market for capable light jets with 45,000 ft service ceilings.
