Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N794JS, is a 2006-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with serial number 525B0113. The airframe is recorded as owned by CHOICE AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Hamilton, Montana, and is held on the U.S. registry. The aircraft’s documented history for this specific tail number centers on that corporate ownership and its use in executive transport operations out of its operator’s home base. There are no other publicized transfers or incidents in the supplied data set; the condition and valuation details are not published in the provided data.
The aircraft is configured in an executive layout and is published as accommodating up to 7 passengers in the cabin. Typical operations for this individual CJ3 are consistent with short- to mid-range business and charter missions, leveraging a cruise speed of 416 kts and a maximum range of 2,040 nm to connect city pairs across the continental United States and nearby international destinations. The operator is based in Hamilton, Montana, and missions from that base would reflect regional executive transport, positioning flights, and on-demand charter tasks. Specific avionics fit, interior finish level, and maintenance status for this airframe are not provided in the supplied dataset.
The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for its size with a 45,000 ft service ceiling and efficient Williams FJ44-series powerplants. In its class, it competes with other eight-seat light jets for owner-operators and charter operators seeking a balance of operating cost, speed, and runway performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are typical for the model: airframe age (2006) factors into valuation, and continued support depends on engine program status, avionics modernization, and documented maintenance history.
