Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N915SF, is a 1999-built Cessna 525 CitationJet / CJ1 with manufacturer serial number 525-0301. The airframe is recorded as owned by Lock Haven Aircraft Sales (a corporation based in Lewes, DE, US), and carries a United States registration. The aircraft's advertised market valuation at present listings is $1,900,000, reflecting typical condition and systems common to late-1990s CitationJets; registry entries and listing descriptions report avionics and airframe-specific upgrades in recent years.

The cabin of this specific CitationJet is described as a typical executive configuration offering a 5–8-place club layout with a forward refreshment area and an aft belted lavatory, with final configuration noted to vary by operator. Reported and advertised avionics fit for this airframe includes an integrated Honeywell SPZ-5000 flight control suite supplemented by dual Garmin GTN-750 WAAS GPS navigators and a GTX‑345R ADS‑B In/Out transponder, while some listings cite airframe-specific upgrades. Operational missions for N915SF align with light business jet roles — short- to mid-range executive transport, air-taxi, and owner-operator travel within its 1,250 nm range and high cruise speed near 381 kt. Based in the United States under corporate ownership, maintenance considerations follow typical CitationJet schedules with turbofan inspections for the Williams FJ44 series and avionics upgrade paths noted in sales literature.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet / CJ1 series occupies the light, entry-level business jet niche emphasizing cost-effective operation, single-pilot capability, and point-to-point speed. With Williams FJ44-1A engines delivering 1,900 lbf each and a max cruise around 381 kt, it competes with other light jets of its era in charter and fractional markets. Buyer demand tends to focus on airframe condition, engine cycles, and installed avionics; resale and maintenance outlook for this airframe reflects typical considerations for late-1990s CitationJets, including the value impact of avionics upgrades and the engine/airframe time since manufacture in 1999.
