The pre-production Cessna Citation CJ3 business jet flies over northern Oklahoma. Cessna has given the CJ3 an advanced, fully integrated avionics suite, a larger cabin and more powerful engines. The airplane flies farther, higher and faster than any of the company's entry-level airplanes and is a logical next step up for owners of smaller jets.
Read about how the aircraft handles in the CJ3 pilot report on page 48.
