N730JS

The airframe, registered as N730JS, is a 2008-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0270. It is owned by Gold Canyon Aviation LLC (an LLC based in Richmond, Missouri, US) and is registered in the United States. The aircraft is presented as a typical CJ3-series example in operational condition with an estimated market value of $5,000,000. No other public registry actions or prior ownership transfers are provided for this specific airframe.

N730JS is configured in a typical 7–8 passenger executive layout, featuring a center club with forward and rear single seats and the option of a belted lavatory. Avionics fit is listed as Collins Pro Line 21, which aligns with common CJ3 equipment fits; upgraded examples of the series may alternatively be fitted with Garmin G3000 in CJ3+ conversions or retrofits. Operated from a home base in Richmond, Missouri by Gold Canyon Aviation LLC, the aircraft suits short- to medium-range executive missions and on-demand charter or owner-flown business trips, leveraging its 2,040 nm range and 416-knot cruise for efficient regional operations. Maintenance considerations follow typical light business-jet practices for twin Williams FJ44 engines and Pro Line avionics support.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, light-jet performance niche within the Citation family, offering transcontinental regional range and high single-pilot capability. Competing models in this market segment generally include other light jets that balance lower operating costs with executive comfort; the CJ3’s ceiling of 45,000 ft and cruise speed of 416 kts are competitive performance indicators. Buyer and charter demand typically favor well-maintained, lower-time airframes with desirable avionics suites; resale and maintenance considerations for N730JS would emphasize Williams FJ44 engine condition, Pro Line 21 systems health, and documentation supporting continued OEM-compliant maintenance.
