N953PT

The airframe bearing tail number N953PT is a Cessna Citation CJ3+ (Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B)) with manufacturer listed as Textron Aviation (Cessna Aircraft Company) and serial 525B0738. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by Puryear Tank Lines, a corporation based in Apex, NC, US. Registry and operational records for this specific airframe identify it as a corporate-operated, fixed‑wing multi‑engine jet with an estimated market value of $10,000,000. Maintenance and valuation notes reflect its CJ3+ standard equipment fit and corporate ownership profile.

The cabin of N953PT is configured in the typical executive 6–7‑place layout with a club four, two forward‑facing seats, and an optional belted lavatory, matching the CJ3+ interior arrangement. The avionics fit is the CJ3+ standard Garmin G3000, supporting modern integrated flightdeck operations and enabling efficient single‑pilot or two‑pilot corporate missions. Operated from Apex, NC, US by its corporate owner, the aircraft’s range and cruise profile support regional business trips and cross‑country hops within its 2,040 nm mission envelope. Engine type and common corporate use imply routine maintenance cycles consistent with twin Williams FJ44‑series powerplants and typical executive operator scheduling.

This airframe belongs to the Citation CJ3+ family (designation 525B), a fixed‑wing multi‑engine business jet designed for high‑cruise speed and mid‑range missions, reflected in its 416 kts cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling. The inclusion of the Garmin G3000 and Williams FJ44‑3A engines factor into operational appeal and lifecycle maintenance planning for corporate owners. With an assessed value of $10,000,000, resale and charter demand considerations for this specific airframe are influenced by its equipment baseline, corporate ownership history, and standard CJ3+ performance and systems.
