Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N10LY, a 1983-built Cessna 550 Citation II carrying serial number 550-0466. The airframe is on the U.S. registry and is recorded as owned by Air & Water Research Corp of Wilmington, DE, US. Registration records list the Wilmington-based company as the current owner and operator on file. No publicized recent valuation or condition survey is provided in the supplied data.
The cabin for this airframe is fitted in an 8-place executive layout (standard light-jet executive seating), reflecting a typical light-citation interior for corporate transport or on-demand charter missions. Specific avionics fit, mission equipment, and retrofit records for this serial are not published in the supplied data. With an eight-seat executive configuration and the Citation II’s performance, the aircraft is suited to regional point-to-point executive transport, short transcontinental hops within its published range, and technical missions compatible with a small corporate operator based in Wilmington, Delaware. Maintenance status, recent inspections, and any notable interior or exterior refurbishments are not provided.
The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light corporate jet niche, offering moderate transcontinental capability with a cruise around 384 kts and a service ceiling near 43,000 ft. Powered by twin JT15D-4 engines producing 2,500 lbf each, the model competes with contemporaries in the light jet category and appeals to buyers seeking eight-place executive capacity and efficient short-to-medium range performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1983 airframe such as N10LY typically hinge on completed maintenance programs, avionics upgrades, and corrosion/airframe life inspections, none of which are detailed in the provided dataset.
