The aircraft is owned and operated by Bar S U Inc DBA, a corporation based in Fort Morgan, CO, US, and carries a US registration.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this CJ4 airframe is configured in a typical executive 6-8 place layout while being certified for up to 10 passengers, with 77 cu ft of baggage space, matching the common mission of short- to medium-range business transport. Avionics are fitted with a Collins Pro Line 21 suite (typical for CJ4), supporting advanced navigation, communication, and flight-management tasks appropriate to corporate operations. With a cruise speed of 451 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft, the aircraft is well suited to regional and cross-country missions where speed and access to higher flight levels reduce flight times and weather exposure. Based at Fort Morgan, Colorado, the operator profile suggests primary use for corporate travel, on-demand charter, or owner-operated business missions; maintenance considerations align with the CJ4’s two Williams FJ44-4A turbofan engines and typical executive outfitting.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (Model 525C) occupies the light-to-mid-size business jet niche, offering transcontinental-ish range of 2,165 nm combined with a high cruise speed of 451 kts and efficient Williams FJ44-4A powerplants. Competing models in this segment tend to offer similar single-pilot capability, cabin configurations for 6-10 passengers, and advanced integrated avionics like the Pro Line 21. Buyer and charter demand for CJ4s typically center on operators valuing speed, runway performance, and cabin flexibility; resale and maintenance considerations focus on engine time on wing, avionics upgrades, and adherence to CJ4-specific inspection intervals.
