N917GW

The airframe bearing tail number N917GW is a factory-new Cessna 525 Citation M2 Gen2 built by Textron Aviation Inc. in 2023, serial 525-1143. The aircraft is owned by Joe Morten & Son Inc, a corporation based in South Sioux City, NE, US, and is registered in the United States. The entry of this airframe into the U.S. registry under corporate ownership in 2023 marks its initial operational status and valuation record. As a recent build, the airplane’s documented market value at delivery is $5,800,000, and it reflects contemporary avionics and engine fit typical of the Gen2 configuration.

The cabin of N917GW is outfitted in a center-club executive layout with a four-place club, supplemented by a forward single seat and an optional belted lavatory, supporting a typical 5–7 passenger configuration. Avionics are fitted to the typical Gen2 specification with a Garmin G3000-class integrated flight deck, providing modern integrated flight management and situational awareness capabilities suitable for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Based in South Sioux City, NE, the corporate operator is likely to employ the aircraft for short- to mid-range business missions consistent with the airplane’s 1,540 nm range and 404 kt cruise speed, including regional hops and point-to-point executive transport. As a current-production example, maintenance considerations align with factory-supported engine programs and Gen2 avionics lifecycle planning.

As a member of the Citation entry-level light business jet family, the Cessna 525 Citation M2 Gen2 exemplified by N917GW occupies a performance niche emphasizing high cruise speed, moderate transcontinental range, and efficient twin-engine operation to FL410. The airframe’s new-production status and documented valuation of $5,800,000 at entry influence buyer and charter demand for corporate owners seeking modern avionics and a seven-seat executive cabin. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial class include adherence to manufacturer-recommended engine program support for the Williams FJ44-1AP-21 engines and lifecycle updates tied to Garmin Gen2 avionics upgrades.
