N208BG 2008 Cessna Citation CJ2+

Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N208BG is a 2008-built Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2+ with serial number 525A0414. Owned by Kingland Aviation Llc, a corporation based in Clear Lake, IA, US, the airframe is operated from that corporate home base and remains on the U.S. registry. No other notable registry actions are recorded in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is outfitted with an eight-passenger executive cabin featuring forward club seating, a mid-cabin club, and a rear belted lavatory, providing a conventional CJ2+ executive interior flow for short- to mid-range business missions. Avionics are installed in the Collins Pro Line 21 configuration, the typical CJ2+ fit, supporting regional express, corporate shuttle, and owner-operated missions under U.S. registration. With a cruise speed of 402 kts and a range of 1,613 nm, the aircraft is suitable for coast-to-coast light business routes and efficient point-to-point operations from its Clear Lake, Iowa base. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines, each producing 2,490 lbf of thrust, and standard CJ2+ support items; remaining specifics of maintenance status are not published in the supplied data.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2+ occupies the light business-jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes (up to 45,000 ft) than many older light jets while retaining economical operating characteristics. Competitors in its class typically include other light jets with similar range and seating, and demand is commonly driven by owner-operators and light charter operators seeking eight-place executive capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the Williams FJ44-3A-24 engine type and the common Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, factors that influence both supportability and marketability in the used business-jet market.
