N605TJ

This airframe, registered as N605TJ, is a 2003-built Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 with serial number 525A0176. The aircraft is owned by Sioux Aircraft LLC, a corporation based in Sioux Falls, SD, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. Operated from its Sioux Falls base by its corporate owner, the airframe reflects typical mid‑2000s CJ2 condition and configuration for corporate use. Current market valuation is listed at $3,353,365, which aligns with the aircraft's age, configuration, and role as an entry‑level light business jet.

The aircraft is outfitted in an executive 6–8 place layout (typical for CJ2) cabin, configured to accommodate corporate missions and small group transport. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include regional point‑to‑point travel within the continental United States, leveraging the CJ2's combination of 1,550 nm range and 410 kt cruise speed for efficient day‑trip operations. Based at Sioux Falls, the operator likely employs the aircraft for business travel and charter missions consistent with a fixed‑wing multi‑engine corporate jet. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect the Williams FJ44‑2C powerplant common to the model; upkeep and component events factor into the stated valuation and serviceability of N605TJ.

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 occupies the light business jet niche as a successor to earlier Citation models, offering higher cruise speeds and improved ranges for short to mid‑range corporate missions. Direct competitors in the market segment include other light jets with similar performance, and demand for well‑maintained CJ2 airframes remains steady among owner‑operators and charter operators who value lower operating costs and favorable runway performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 2003 build year, serial 525A0176, Williams FJ44 engines, and the executive cabin configuration, all of which are typical determinants in valuation and buyer interest.
