N7NE

The airframe bearing tail number N7NE is a 2021-build Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 (serial 525C0371) manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation Norfolk Iron & Metal Co, based in Norfolk, Nebraska; this corporate ownership is notable for a non-aviation company operating a business-class executive jet. No public record of prior operators or certificate transfers beyond the current corporate registration is noted in the supplied data. The airframe’s listed market valuation is $10,000,000, reflecting a relatively recent build year and contemporary systems fit.

The subject CJ4 is configured in an executive corporate layout, described as a typical 6–10 passenger arrangement with a forward belted lavatory possible, supporting short- to medium-haul executive transport and company travel between regional and continental business centers. Avionics are fitted with Collins Pro Line 21, consistent with typical CJ4 installations, with an FMS-3000 available as an option, enabling advanced navigation and flight management for point-to-point business missions. With eleven seats nominally available, operators can balance passenger capacity and comfort for executive delegations, while maintenance considerations for this twin Williams FJ44-4A installation reflect established support networks and mean-time-between-overhaul profiles for the type.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and longer range than earlier Citation light jets while retaining single-pilot capability in many configurations. Its performance—451 kts cruise and a 2,165 nm range—competes with models such as the Embraer Phenom 300E and the newer HondaJet variants for corporate buyers and charter operators seeking a balance of speed, cabin volume, and operating economics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2021 airframe include the desirability of modern avionics like Pro Line 21 and the widely supported Williams FJ44 engines, factors that underpin the stated $10,000,000 valuation.
