Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N70FA is a 2008-built production example of the Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+, serial number 525A0404. It is registered in the United States and listed as owned by APOLLO BAY LLC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US; this ownership is the principal recorded registry entry available for this airframe. The aircraft is noted in valuation records at $3,000,000, reflecting market value for a late-2000s light business jet in operative condition. Publicly available records do not indicate additional transfers, liens, or notable historic incidents for this specific serial prior to or after the 2008 manufacture date.
The aircraft is typically configured in a conventional eight-place executive club arrangement—forward club seating with aft seats and a belted lavatory—though the exact interior fitment for N70FA has not been published. With twin Williams FJ44-3A-24 turbofans producing 2,490 lbf each and a high-speed cruise of 418 kts, the airframe is optimized for regional executive missions and point-to-point business travel within its 1,781 nm range and up to a 45,000 ft ceiling. Operating under corporate ownership in Wilmington, DE, US, the platform is suited to short- to medium-range charter or owner-flown employment profiles; routine maintenance considerations follow standard CJ2+ schedules and component shop visit cycles typical for the model and engines. No specific avionics or unique cabin amenities for this serial have been published.
The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+ occupies the light-cabin, short-to-medium range business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and altitude capability relative to earlier light jets. Competing models in its era include other light-cabin jets from major manufacturers targeting single-pilot or small-crew owner-operators and charter fleets. Given its manufacture year of 2008 and a listed value of $3,000,000, resale and charter demand for this airframe depend on maintenance provenance, avionics fit, and interior condition; owners typically weigh engine TBO status and avionics upgrades heavily when assessing marketability for a CJ2+ example.
