N744JS

This entry covers airframe N744JS, a 2009-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0304. The airframe is recorded as owned by HUFF AIR LLC, an LLC based in Uvalde, TX, US, and is operated under the United States civil registration. The airframe’s documented valuation stands at $4,875,425, and registry records note the aircraft as a typical CJ3 example with no public record of major variant conversion. Registered to HUFF AIR LLC in Uvalde, TX, the airplane has been maintained to the CitationJet CJ3 standard configuration.

The cabin of this CJ3 airframe follows the typical 7–8 place executive layout with a forward club arrangement and aft side-facing or rear seats, and it includes a belted lavatory consistent with factory CJ3 interiors. Avionics are fitted with the Collins ProLine 21 suite as is typical for Citation CJ3s, noting that some CJ3+ variants and retrofits have adopted Garmin G3000 but this airframe retains the ProLine fit. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft type and configuration include short- to mid-range executive transportation, regional point-to-point hops and light charter work within the continental U.S., operating from the owner’s base in Uvalde, Texas. Maintenance considerations align with twin Williams FJ44-3A engine support and CJ3 fleet commonality for parts and avionics upkeep.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, long-range end of the light jet market, offering around 2,040 nm range and high single-pilot capability for many operators. Competing models target similar missions and capacity; buyer and charter demand historically favor CJ3 airframes for their balance of speed, range and cabin utility. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect common CJ3 characteristics: ongoing support for Williams FJ44 engines, avionics lifecycle (ProLine 21 versus G3000 upgrades), and market valuations informed by year, serial-lineage and operator maintenance pedigree.
