The listed owner is WMS AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Eden Prairie, MN, US; registry records and sale listings indicate operation and custody under that ownership.

The aircraft is configured with a six-place executive main cabin plus a belted lavatory and is registered for 7 passengers, reflecting a typical light business-jet executive interior tailored for small group transport.

Typical missions for this airframe, given its 1,613 nm range and 410 kt cruise, are short to mid‑range business hops and regional charter work operating out of its owner/operator base in Eden Prairie, MN. Maintenance considerations align with twin Williams FJ44-2C powerplants and the ProLine avionics suite documented for this specific aircraft.

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering transcontinental step‑down performance within the light-jet category and a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models in its class include other light Citations and similar VLJ/light-cabin jets; buyers and charter operators typically prize the CJ2 for operating economics, short-field capability, and cabin flexibility as exemplified by this airframe’s six-place executive interior with belted lavatory. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect engine support for the Williams FJ44-2C series and the installed Collins ProLine 21 avionics, factors that influence marketability at the noted $3,000,000 valuation.
