Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N79TW, is a 2015-built Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) with manufacturer serial number 525B0470. The jet was produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is recorded as owned by N79TW LLC, an LLC based in Fayetteville, AR, US; its public registry reflects this corporate ownership as the principal operator/home base designation. The airframe’s documented condition and equipment mix support an estimated market valuation of $4,700,000 for the platform as configured. Its U.S. registration and corporate ownership profile are notable for operations under single-owner corporate management rather than a fractional or commercial operator arrangement.
The aircraft is typically single-pilot certified and is documented with a principal executive seating layout accommodating 2 crew + 6 executive passenger club seating, while noting configurations to 8/9 possible and an available belted aft lavatory option. Avionics are listed as the factory-standard Collins Pro Line 21 suite in this airframe, though many CJ3s of this vintage are commonly retrofitted to later suites. Typical missions for this airframe include short- to mid-range corporate transport and on-demand charter work within the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and high-speed cruise of 416 kts, operating from the owner’s Fayetteville, AR base. Routine maintenance considerations align with light-jet twin-engine programs, centered on Williams FJ44 engine inspections and Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle support.
The Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) occupies the light-cabin, high-performance niche popular with owner-operators and charter companies seeking cabin comfort, runway performance and low-hour operating economics. Competing models in its class include other light-cabin jets that prioritize short-field capability and efficient twin-engine cruise. Buyer and resale considerations for this specific 2015 airframe center on its corporate ownership record, avionics fit (Pro Line 21 versus retrofits), engine model Williams FJ44-3A support, and the aircraft’s documented valuation at $4,700,000.
