N70FC

This article concerns the specific airframe bearing U.S. registration N70FC, a 2010-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with manufacturer serial number 525B-0339. The aircraft has been registered to the corporate owner LUCKY STARS LLC of Missoula, MT, US and operates in the United States civil registry. Acquisition by LUCKY STARS LLC represents the principal documented ownership change for this airframe in public records. The airframe is a relatively late-model CJ3 example and, as a corporate-owned light business jet, is noted for standard-condition executive interiors subject to variation through subsequent interior refits.

The installed cabin configuration for this airframe reflects a typical six‑to‑eight passenger executive club layout with single‑pilot capability, an enclosed lavatory and a refreshment center; specific fit can vary with interior refits performed by the owner. As a CJ3, N70FC is routinely employed on short- to mid-range executive missions consistent with its 2,040 nm range and high‑speed cruise of 416 kts, typically operating point‑to‑point regional charters, corporate shuttles, or owner-flown travel from its operator base in Montana. Avionics and maintenance specifics for this serial are not published in the supplied data; ongoing maintenance considerations follow Type Certificate requirements for the Cessna 525B series and the Williams FJ44-3A turbofan engines. The aircraft’s corporate ownership implies regular Part 135 or private operator maintenance and interior refurbishment cycles consistent with executive use.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, light-jet niche, offering improved range and payload relative to earlier CitationJet models while maintaining single‑pilot capability. With twin Williams FJ44-3A engines producing 2,820 lbf each, the CJ3 competes with contemporary light jets from manufacturers such as Embraer and Honda in owner-operator and charter markets. Demand typically centers on buyers seeking efficient regional point-to-point capability with low operating complexity; resale and maintenance considerations include engine time limits, avionics upgrades, and interior refit histories that materially affect marketability for a corporate-owned airframe like N70FC.
