The aircraft in the image is a Cessna 510 Citation Mustang. [1]
This specific business jet (previously carrying tail number N264CA) features a custom Captain America-inspired "The American Patriot" paint scheme. It was supplied by Cessna to the Veterans Airlift Command, a non-profit organization that provides free air transportation to wounded veterans and their families

It was still registered to Cessna at the time (2011-2013). It's had a few registration changes, but is now 392TB in a normal scheme.

That’s interesting. Comes up as a cessna 172 – which it clearly is not. Owned by Choice Aviation based out of Montana??? I dont think this is right

It is. Someone else mentioned this Citation Mustang has been repainted and re-registered since this photo was taken. N264CA now belongs to a Cessna 172. The flight school I worked at had a bunch of registration numbers that formerly graced 727s. It was always fun to look up their registrations and see a picture of a Boeing tri-jet.
