N8844

This entry covers airframe N8844, a 1998 Cessna-built Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (CJ1) bearing serial number 525-0254. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by DIAMOND AND A HALF CATTLE COMPANY LLC, an Arizona limited liability company based in Lake Havasu City, AZ, US. Public records for this specific tail indicate standard civil registration without published extraordinary registry actions; detailed history of prior owners or transfers is not published. As of the latest valuation data provided, the aircraft is listed at $1,800,000, reflecting its late-1990s manufacture and configuration.

The cabin of this Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 is configured for 8 occupants, consistent with typical light-citation layouts emphasizing short-haul executive transport or owner/operator missions. Specific avionics fit and interior refurbishment history for this serial are not published; therefore, operational profiles are inferred from configuration and range — routine missions likely include regional hops within the aircraft’s 1,300 nm range and point-to-point business travel from its owner’s base in Lake Havasu City, AZ, US. Maintenance considerations follow the twin Williams FJ44-1A turbine architecture and typical inspection intervals for the CJ1 family; any unique amenities or modifications for this fiberglass-and-metal airframe have not been disclosed.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (CJ1) occupies the light-citation segment, offering high single-pilot capability, a 41,000 ft ceiling and cruise speeds around 381 kts, making it suitable for short- to mid-range executive and charter work. Competing models in the era include other light jets that emphasize operating economy and runway performance; buyer demand typically targets owner-operators or small fleet operators seeking efficient regional performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1998 CJ1 with Williams FJ44-1A engines generally weigh total time, avionics standardization, and interior condition, factors implicit in the provided $1,800,000 valuation.
