N60US

This airframe, registered as N60US, is a 2023-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3+ manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc with serial number 525B0685. The jet is recorded as owned by BLUEBIRD AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Columbus, MS, US, and is on the U.S. civil register. No prior ownership transfers are listed beyond the current LLC registration, and the airframe carries a reported market valuation of $8,500,000. The aircraft’s certification and equipment status reflect a modern production CJ3+ delivered with factory-standard avionics and powerplant options.

The cabin of this CJ3+ is configured in a typical business layout featuring a six-place club arrangement plus one to two forward/side seats, supporting up to seven to eight passengers in standard seating; an enclosed belted lavatory is listed as optional. Avionics fit is the factory-standard Garmin G3000 (CJ3+ standard) integrated flight deck, supporting advanced navigation and flight-management capabilities appropriate for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. With a 2,040 nm range and a cruise of 416 kt, the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-range business missions from its operator base in Columbus, MS, US, including point-to-point corporate travel, regional charter, and owner-operator use. Maintenance considerations follow the CJ3+ common support network and Williams FJ44-3A engine programs.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3+ occupies the light-cabin, entry-level business-jet niche, offering higher speed and range than older CitationJets while retaining relatively low operating costs for its class. Competing models include light jets from Embraer and Honda/other small-cabin types with similar eight-seat capacities and trans-regional range. Demand in the pre-owned and near-new market typically favors CJ3+ examples with Garmin G3000 avionics and low-cycle engines like the FJ44-3A, which can support stronger resale values and predictable maintenance intervals for owner/operators and charter operators.
