The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to LOFTY VENTURES LLC of Franklin, Tennessee, listed as the owner in the public registry. The aircraft is a factory-built, mid-production CJ3 and carries a market valuation of $6,300,000 according to the provided data. Registry listings identify an eight-seat executive interior and note the airframe as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet configured for corporate use.

The individual aircraft carries an 8-seat executive layout per registry listing, indicating a typical corporate interior optimized for short- to mid-range business missions. Specific avionics and cabin amenity details are not published in the supplied data; operational use can be inferred as owner-operated or corporate charter support from its owner’s Tennessee base. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include domestically focused business trips across the continental U.S. and cross-border flights into nearby international destinations, leveraging the CJ3’s cruise speed and range for point-to-point efficiency. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on twin Williams FJ44-3A engines and standard CJ3 airframe checks in line with owner/operator program requirements.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 family occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, valued for low operating costs and favorable runway performance relative to larger midsize types. With a cruise of 416 kts and a range of 2,040 nm, the CJ3 competes with models such as the Embraer Phenom 300 and Pilatus PC-24 in missions emphasizing regional corporate travel. Buyers and charter operators typically favor CJ3s for owner-flown operations and short-haul charter due to strong resale demand and a mature support network; the stated valuation of $6,300,000 reflects those market dynamics for a 2008 airframe in corporate configuration.
