The airframe is listed as owned by AD Equipment Holdings LLC, an LLC based in Suwanee, GA, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe’s historical notes include its build year and serial tracking within the Citation CJ2 production run; registration and ownership are recorded to the current LLC owner.

The cabin for this airframe is reported in listings as a typical executive layout accommodating 6–8 passengers, often configured as club/club plus two seating with an enclosed lavatory noted in listings. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft include short- to mid-range executive transport and light charter work within a roughly 1,550 nm mission radius and high-speed cruise operations around 402 kts. The twin Williams FJ44-2C engines provide relatively efficient performance for the class and support a service ceiling to 45,000 ft, enabling operations above commercial traffic and adverse weather. The owner/operator base in Suwanee, GA suggests regional repositioning and charter availability, and maintenance considerations follow Citation CJ2 fleet norms for engine program, avionics updates, and cabin refurb cycles.

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 occupies the light-cabin, entry-level jet niche, offering cost-effective short to mid-range performance with two Williams FJ44 series turbofans. Competing models in its era include light jets from Embraer and Dassault’s entry-level Falcons, with buyer and charter demand often focused on operating economics, dispatch reliability, and cabin utility. For resale and maintenance, factors affecting this airframe’s marketability include its 2004 build year, engine program status, avionics fit, interior condition (enclosed lavatory and executive seating), and the established value point near $2.8M for comparable CJ2 examples.
