N91BB

The airframe bearing tail number N91BB is a 2001-built Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 (serial 525-0417) manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the US and is currently owned by Bunn Brothers Aviation LLC, a corporate operator based in Tuscaloosa, AL, US. The airframe’s configuration and equipment reflect typical early-2000s CJ1 fits and the airframe is valued at $1,700,000, indicating a market position consistent with mature light business jets in active corporate service.

The aircraft’s cabin is outfitted in a typical executive layout offering center-club seating or a 4–6-place club with forward and aft belted seating, with an optional belted flushing lavatory installation available. Avionics are equipped with the factory Collins Pro Line 21 suite, though many CitationJets of this generation also see owner-applied Garmin retrofit options; such retrofits are common for operators seeking modernized situational awareness and connectivity. Operated from a corporate base in Tuscaloosa, the CJ1’s range and cruise performance suit short to mid-range business missions, shuttle and on-demand charter flights, and intrastate or regional executive transport. Maintenance and operational considerations align with twin-engine light-jet practices for Williams FJ44 powerplants and airframe aging items typical of early-2000s production.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 occupies the light-cabin, entry-level business jet niche, offering efficient short-to-medium haul performance with low crew and operating demands relative to larger jets. Competing types in this segment share similar mission profiles and often compete on acquisition cost, retrofit potential and operating economics. Demand from private owner-operators, small corporations and charter providers is influenced by the CJ1’s proven reliability, available avionics upgrades and the lifecycle status of Williams FJ44 engines. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on documented service history, avionics modernization, and the condition of optional cabin amenities, all of which materially affect valuation around the stated $1,700,000 figure.
