In the wake of announcing plans for three next-generation Cessna Citation private jets at 2024 NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas, Textron Aviation has now also confirmed the launch customer for one of the planes.  

On October 21, 2024, just hours after introducing the new Cessna Citation M2 Gen3, CJ3 Gen3 and CJ4 Gen3, Textron upped the ante yet further by revealing longtime Cessna Citation customer Ryan Samples as the first customer of the CJ4 Gen3.  

According to Textron, businessman Samples has entered into a purchase agreement with the company for the CJ4 Gen3, with delivery expected in 2026.
