N979JS

This entry covers airframe N979JS, a 2004 Cessna 750 Citation X with serial number 750-0225, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by FE X 225 LLC of Kinston, NC, US; the registry lists a 12-seat configuration. Valuation information for this specific airframe is recorded at $3,575,344, while its equipment fit and retrofit history are noted as variable in registry comments.

The cabin of N979JS is documented in typical Citation X fashion: an 8-place executive double-club layout is standard for the model, with registry entries indicating the aircraft is configured in a 12-seat executive layout for this airframe. Avionics are described as Honeywell Primus-series (typical for Citation X; exact fit varies by retrofit), meaning this airframe’s avionics fit may differ depending on past upgrades or maintenance actions. Based on its performance figures, operational missions for N979JS would emphasize high-speed, long-range executive transport from its owner/operator base in Kinston, NC, US, with maintenance and equipment choices driven by executive cabin standards and any retrofit avionics packages installed.

This airframe represents the high-speed, long-range end of Cessna’s business-jet family, combining a transcontinental 3,460 nm range with a 525 kt cruise and a 51,000 ft ceiling. Those performance numbers define its market niche for operators seeking fast point-to-point executive transport. Given the documented valuation of $3,575,344 and the variable nature of avionics retrofits on Citation X airframes, resale value and maintenance cycles for N979JS will be sensitive to installed avionics, interior configuration, and adherence to engine and airframe maintenance programs.
