Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N923KB, a 2006-built Cessna Citation CJ3 (525B), serial number 525B0065, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is registered in the US and is registered to Buse Aviation LLC, a corporation based in Hereford, Texas. There are no other publicized registry actions or change-of-ownership events recorded in the supplied data. As a mid‑2000s Citation CJ3 example, the airframe is assigned an estimated market value of $4,900,000, reflecting its configuration and typical condition for the model year.
The cabin is fitted in a typical 6–8-place executive club layout with a forward refreshment area, mid‑cabin club seating and an aft belted lavatory offered as an option, consistent with the CJ3 interior arrangements. Avionics are the typical Collins Pro Line 21 suite for the CJ3, supporting standard flight management, navigation and communications capabilities for regional jet missions. Operated from Hereford, Texas by Buse Aviation LLC, the airframe’s mission profile aligns with light business jet duties: short‑ to medium‑range executive transport, single‑pilot or two‑pilot operations depending on operator policy, and frequent point‑to‑point trips within the listed range. Maintenance considerations follow common CJ3 practices for Williams FJ44 powerplants and Pro Line avionics, with periodic engine and avionics inspections driving scheduled downtime.
The Cessna Citation CJ3 (525B) occupies the light-cabin, short‑to‑medium range niche, offering jet cruise speeds around 416 kts and single‑stage transcontinental capability for many U.S. city pairs given its 2,040 nm range. Competing models in this segment include other light citations and small business jets with similar seat counts and range, and the CJ3 is often valued for a balance of operating costs, runway performance and cabin ergonomics. For buyers and charter operators, maintenance of Williams FJ44 engines and the Pro Line 21 avionics are primary lifecycle considerations that influence resale value and operational availability.
