RADAR ESTIMATE

What N139CJ is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation CJ3 on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N139CJ's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N139CJ

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 N139CJ is a 2007-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with manufacturer serial 525B0139. It is currently owned by Air Queso LLC, a limited liability company based in Harrison, OH, US, and has been operated from that home base in U.S. civil registry. No additional registry actions are published beyond its U.S. registration and the recorded ownership entry.

Operations & Cabin

This specific CJ3 is configured in an 8-seat executive layout as listed, and public sales/charter listings note an enclosed lavatory as part of the cabin fit. Typical mission profiles for the airframe would include short-to-mid-range business travel within the continental United States, leveraging a cruise speed near 416 kts and a practical range of 2,040 nm for point-to-point trips. With twin Williams FJ44-3A powerplants producing 2,820 lbf each, the airplane supports efficient climb and cruise to a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, factors that inform operator scheduling and maintenance planning. Maintenance considerations follow the CJ3’s factory support structure and the engine type’s established inspection intervals; specific records for this serial are not published here.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort for up to 8 passengers, transcontinental capability on favorable routings, and economical single-pilot or two-pilot ops. Maintenance and resale considerations emphasize engine lifecycle (Williams FJ44 family) and avionics package upgrades relative to contemporary fleets.
