N545JS

The airframe bearing tail number N545JS is a 2003 Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1, serial number 525-0524, built by the Cessna Aircraft Company (now Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by SUPERUS CAPITAL PARTNERS LLC, an LLC based in Memphis, TN, US, which establishes the aircraft’s primary operator and likely home base in the Memphis area. Registry records and valuation data indicate a market value near $2,100,000, with condition and interior finish expected to reflect owner customization rather than a factory standard executive fit. Notable administrative entries include its current ownership being held by an LLC rather than an individual, a common structure for corporate-operated light jets.

The airframe typically carries a standard executive 6–8 place cabin configuration with a forward galley and a belted lavatory; the exact interior fit of N545JS is likely customized to owner requirements rather than a factory baseline. Mission profiles for this CitationJet CJ1 airframe generally center on short- to mid-range corporate travel and on-demand charter missions within a 1,300 nm radius, operating efficiently at a cruise speed around 381 knots and up to FL410. Avionics fit for this specific airframe is not published here, but operational considerations emphasize light-jet scheduling, component shop visits for the two Williams FJ44-1A engines, and routine airframe inspections common to corporate fleet aircraft. Maintenance and operational basing are likely routed through Memphis-area service providers given the owner’s location.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 family occupies the light, entry-level business jet niche, offering single-pilot capability for many operators, efficient short-field performance, and lower operating costs relative to larger jets. Competing models in the segment include other early-generation light jets with similar range and seating, and the CJ1’s appeal lies in its combination of cruise speed near 381 knots and a useful ceiling of 41,000 feet. For buyers and operators of this airframe, considerations include cyclical demand for eight-place executive layouts, lifecycle maintenance of Williams FJ44 series engines, and resale valuations influenced by interior condition, avionics standard, and the $2,100,000 baseline market estimate for this specific example.
