N71MB

This entry describes airframe N71MB, a factory-built Cessna Citation CJ3+ (Model 525B) completed in 2022 as serial number 525B0670. The aircraft was manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna) and is registered in the United States. It is owned by Bretz-Aztec LLC, a limited liability company based in Missoula, MT, US, which serves as the operator and home base for the type as recorded. The airframe carries an estimated market valuation of $9,800,000; no separate condition report is published within the provided data.

The subject aircraft, N71MB, is configured with 8 seats consistent with light-cabin corporate transport missions typical for the CJ3+. Its operational profile reflects a long-legged light jet capability with a maximum practical range of 2,040 nm and a cruise speed near 416 kts, supporting point-to-point regional and transcontinental charters or corporate travel from its base in Missoula, MT, US. Specific avionics fit, interior finishes or unique cabin amenities for this individual airframe are not published in the supplied data. Maintenance considerations for this installed configuration center on twin Williams FJ44-3A engines and factory support channels from Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna); no specific maintenance history is provided.

The Cessna Citation CJ3+ (Model 525B) occupies the light jet segment offering high cruise speed, comfortable short-field performance and low single-pilot operating capability relative to larger business jets. With a ceiling of 45,000 ft and a range of 2,040 nm, it competes with other light-cabin jets for owner-operators and charter operators seeking efficiency and regional reach. Typical buyer demand targets corporate flight departments and fractional or on-demand charter operators; resale and maintenance prospects are influenced by installed engines—here the Williams FJ44-3A set—and the aircraft’s recent manufacture year (2022), which supports stronger marketability and predictable maintenance cycles.
