RADAR ESTIMATE
What N121VM is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation CJ1 on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N121VM's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N121VM
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
The airframe bearing tail number N121VM is a 1999-built Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1, serial 525-0314, registered in the United States. Since manufacture it is recorded as owned by Alan Aviation LLC, a corporate owner based in Altadena, CA, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this specific airframe. Notable registry actions include its sustained US registration and corporate ownership status; no additional ownership transfers or refurbishments are published in the provided data.
Operations & Cabin
This specific CJ1 is fitted in a typical executive interior described as a 4-8 place layout with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory; configuration and refurbishments may vary by aircraft, and any particular interior modifications to this airframe are not published. Operated from Altadena, CA, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with short- to medium-range business travel, leveraging a 1,200 nm range and a 368 kt cruise speed for regional point-to-point trips. The twin Williams FJ44 engines provide the rated thrust and performance characteristics that support operations up to a 41,000 ft service ceiling; maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect its 1999 build year and corporate ownership maintenance program. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities for this airframe are not detailed in the available data.
Model & Market Context
As a member of the Cessna CitationJet CJ1 family, this airframe’s specifications, 8 seats, 1,200 nm range, 368 kt cruise and 41,000 ft ceiling, define its performance niche within the light, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet category. The presence of two Williams FJ44 engines with 1,900 lbf thrust each contributes to the type’s operational efficiency and maintenance profile.
