N65VM

The airframe bearing tail number N65VM is a 2005-built Cessna 525B CitationJet 3 (Citation CJ3) with serial 525B0034, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to BJS AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Olive Branch, Mississippi, which serves as its listed operator/home base for registry purposes. No alternate operators or prior ownership transfers are published in the supplied data; valuation records for this specific airframe place its market value at $4,600,000, reflecting its mid-2000s vintage and original avionics fit.

The individual airframe is configured in the typical executive layout for the model, supporting a 6–8 passenger executive cabin with center club seating and options for forward or rear galley installations; the supplied data indicates the standard CJ3 interior arrangement rather than a unique retrofit. Avionics installed on this airframe follow the original CJ3 specification with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21; note that later CJ3+ examples were offered with Garmin G3000, but this specific airframe retains the Pro Line 21 fit. Typical mission profiles for this type include short to mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter flights up to its listed range, operating out of its owner’s base in Olive Branch, MS. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the CJ3’s twin Williams FJ44 series engines and standard fixed-wing multi-engine program requirements.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet 3 (Citation CJ3) occupies a light-cabin, high-performance niche with transcontinental short-haul capability, combining relatively high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in its class include other light jets offering similar mission flexibility and eight-seat layouts; buyer and charter demand historically favors CJ3s for their operating economics and cabin ergonomics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2005 airframe center on engine time, avionics modernization choices (notably the Pro Line 21 versus newer G3000 retrofits), and the prevailing market indicated by the listed $4,600,000 valuation.
