N888RK

This airframe, registered as N888RK, is a 2015-build Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with serial number 525C0183, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by 888RK LLC of Collinsville, OK, US, which appears as the primary registrant and operator/home base for this airframe. The CJ4 is outfitted with Rockwell Collins avionics and maintains a market valuation in the inventory records at $8,500,000. Notable registry annotations for this airframe consist of the US registration entry under N888RK and the ownership listing to 888RK LLC.

The airframe is configured with up to 11 seats typical of the CJ4 family, supporting short- to mid-range business missions consistent with its 2,165 nm range and high-speed cruise of 451 kts. Avionics are installed as a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, providing an integrated cockpit environment for IFR and high-altitude operations to the 45,000 ft service ceiling. Operated and registered in the US by 888RK LLC, Collinsville, OK, the aircraft’s mission set would typically include regional business travel, air-taxi and owner/operator transport within continental ranges. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect standard CJ4 practices, including monitoring Williams FJ44-4A engine performance intervals and avionics support for the Pro Line 21 system.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, high-performance segment offering transcontinental range for a light jet platform and a relatively high cruise speed of 451 kts. Competitors in this niche include later-model light jets and entry-level midsize types that trade cabin size and range against operating cost; the CJ4 competes favorably on speed and range while maintaining compact operating economics. Market demand for CJ4s is driven by owner-operators and charter operators seeking fast regional capability, and resale/value considerations for this airframe are informed by its 2015 manufacture year, Pro Line 21 avionics fit, and the continued availability and maintenance profile of the Williams FJ44-4A engines.
