Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing registration N100DS is a 1990-built Cessna 550 Citation II, serial number 550-0639, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is owned by the corporation CASCADE PEAKS AVIATION LLC, based in Springfield, OR, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The registry lists an 8-place executive layout, and available records indicate this airframe has remained under corporate ownership rather than private individual title; no public record of recent ownership transfers or major registry actions are published in the provided data. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied dataset.

The aircraft is configured with an 8-place executive layout as reported in the registry, consistent with typical light-cabin corporate interiors for the Citation II. With a cruise speed of 399 kts and a maximum range of 1,998 nm, this specific airframe is suited to short- to medium-haul corporate missions and point-to-point travel within continental ranges common to US business operations. Operated from Springfield, Oregon by CASCADE PEAKS AVIATION LLC, maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engine support and standard Citation II airframe programs; no specific avionics fit, modifications, or unique cabin amenities are published in the provided data. The twin-engine configuration and 43,000 ft ceiling enable operations in higher-altitude flight profiles typical for business jet routing.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a blend of cruise speed, range, and operating economics appropriate for corporate operators and charter providers seeking compact cabin capacity. With two JT15D-4 engines producing 2,500 lbf each, the model competes with contemporaries that emphasize short-field performance and efficient regional routing. Buyers and operators commonly evaluate Citation II airframes on system condition, engine time, and interior refurbishment status; resale and maintenance considerations for this particular serial (550-0639) will hinge on logbook history and any upgrades or inspections not detailed in the supplied record.
