Model & Market Context

This entry documents the specific airframe bearing tail number N98YB, a 2006-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0115 manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is owned by the corporate entity C&F INVESTMENTS LLC and is registered in the US. Its configuration, maintenance history and any notable registry actions beyond the recorded ownership and registration are not published in the supplied data. The aircraft’s condition and market valuation are likewise not provided; available data centers on type, capability and outfitting particulars for this individual jet.

The cabin of this specific Citation CJ3 is fitted in an executive 6–7 place club layout while the aircraft is officially registered with 8 seats, and includes forward/cross club seating and an enclosed lavatory. Avionics fit on this airframe is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, a typical fit for CJ3s of this vintage, supporting modern navigation, communication and flight management capabilities appropriate for business and charter operations. With a transcontinental-range capability of 2,040 nm and a high-speed cruise of 416 kts, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include regional to near-transcontinental executive transport and on-demand charter services.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light business jet segment, offering improved range and cabin comfort relative to earlier CitationJet models while retaining efficient twin Williams FJ44 powerplants. Competing models in the same performance niche typically include light jets from manufacturers such as Embraer and Honda (and earlier light Citation variants), with buyer demand often driven by economy of operation, dispatch reliability and cabin utility. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe follow CJ3 norms: engines and Pro Line 21 avionics are well-supported, though specific logbooks, maintenance status and asset valuation for N98YB are not included in the provided data.
