N659WG

This entry covers airframe N659WG, a 2018-built example of the Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) constructed by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna) with serial number 525-1002. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by BUDS TN LLC, a corporation based in Lexington, KY, US; this ownership is the primary recorded operator association for this airframe. The airframe has a reported market valuation of $4,500,000 and carries a six-passenger executive interior and a Garmin G3000 avionics suite as shipped, indicating preserved executive configuration and avionics completeness at the time of listing.

The individual cabin of N659WG is configured in a six-passenger executive layout featuring a forward side-facing seat, a mid-cabin double-club arrangement, and a belted lavatory, finished with a carbon-trim interior as noted in the listing. Avionics aboard the airframe include a Garmin G3000 with three 14-inch displays and dual GIA 63W units, paired with GTX-3000 transponders, GWX-70 weather radar, and GDL-69/XM datalink/weather capability, supporting typical single-pilot/owner-operator IFR missions. Typical operations for this configuration focus on regional executive transport within the aircraft’s 1,540 nm range and high-cruise speed of 404 kts, with the documented owner based in Lexington, KY likely operating point-to-point business missions. Maintenance considerations follow standard light-jet schedules for the Williams FJ44 engines and Garmin G3000 avionics lifecycle items.

The Cessna Citation M2 (Model 525) occupies the light-cabin, entry-level business jet niche with efficient short- to mid-range performance, a useful cruise of 404 kts and a service ceiling to 41,000 ft. Competing models in this segment include other single-pilot light jets offering similar range and speed; resale and owner demand typically favor well-equipped, low-time examples with modern avionics like the G3000. For prospective buyers or operators, maintenance and resale considerations center on engine time on the Williams FJ44-1AP-21 powerplants, avionics updates or subscriptions for datalink/radar systems, and the airframe’s executive interior condition reflected in the carbon-trim finish.
