Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N52HR is a 2023-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+, serial 525B0688, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. It is registered in the US and currently owned by BARRACUDA AVIATION LLC, LLC (Co-owned), based in Houston, TX, US. The airframe appears as a recent production example of the CJ3+ line and carries a retail valuation of $10,100,000 in contemporary listings. No additional registry actions or notable historical incidents are published for this specific airframe.
The cabin of N52HR is outfitted in a typical CJ3+ executive configuration with a 6–7 place executive club layout, a forward refreshment center, and an enclosed aft lavatory with an optional belted lavatory forward; external baggage capacity is approximately 65 cubic feet. Avionics fit for production CJ3+ examples is the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, supporting modern flight management, touchscreen control and advanced situational awareness for single-pilot or two-pilot operation. Based from Houston, TX, the aircraft’s range and cruise speed position it for regional U.S. and North American missions such as trans-Gulf hops, trunk city-pair charters, and corporate point-to-point travel. Maintenance considerations follow standard CJ3+ schedules for PW-class turbofan-equipped light jets, with attention to FJ44 engine hot-section inspection intervals and avionics software updates typical for Garmin-equipped fleets.
The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ occupies the light-cabin, short-to-medium range business jet niche, offering a balance of runway performance, operating economics and modern cockpit technology. Competing models include late-model Embraer Phenom 300 variants and late-generation Honda/Embraer small jets in charter and owner-flown markets. Buyer and charter demand for the CJ3+ is often driven by single-pilot certification, cabin flexibility and proven dispatch reliability; resale considerations for this 2023 example center on hours, maintenance records, and the installed Garmin G3000 avionics suite supporting strong marketability.
