Panda Restaurant Group operates Panda Express, the largest Asian-food restaurant chain in the United States with roughly 2,400 locations, founded by Andrew and Peggy Cherng and headquartered in Rosemead, California. The Cherngs are among America's wealthiest restaurant families.
N168PX is a Cessna Citation Sovereign (model 680, MSN 680-0002, Mode-S hex A110C1). The FAA lists the nominee owner as Citadel Aviation Investments LLC of Las Vegas (unrelated to Ken Griffin's Citadel), but third-party registries resolve the beneficial owner to Citadel Panda Express, Inc of Rosemead, CA — the 'PX' tail marks Panda Express. The same airframe previously flew as N747RL for Rod Lewis / Lewis Energy Group of San Antonio, confirming the earlier-ownership note in the submission. FAA registration is valid.
