N10TC

This entry covers airframe N10TC, a 1984-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0495. The airframe is owned by Edward T Jr Smitherman of Hot Springs, AR, US, and is registered in the United States. The airframe's registry reflects a long-standing individual ownership record centered on a single operator/home base in Hot Springs; no multi-operator leasing history is published in the supplied data. Valuation records list the airframe at $691,569, a figure that serves as a current-market snapshot for this specific-equipped Citation II.

The installed cabin configuration on N10TC follows a typical eight-place executive layout, with center-club seating common among Citation II variants; this layout supports small-group corporate transport or owner-flown cross-country missions. With a long-range capability of 1,998 nm and a cruising speed near 360 kts, the aircraft is suited to point-to-point missions across the continental United States from its home base in Hot Springs, AR, US. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4B turbofan installation requires standard Citation II maintenance practices; specific avionics fit and retrofit history for this airframe are not published in the provided data. Cabin amenities are consistent with executive eight-place configurations for late-model Citation IIs and would typically prioritize seating comfort and short-field accessibility.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a light business-jet niche defined by economical operating costs, short-field performance, and owner-pilot accessibility relative to larger business jets. Competing models in its era and resale segment include similar light jets that emphasize efficient regional connections rather than transcontinental capability. Given the airframe's 1984 manufacture and the listed valuation of $691,569, maintenance, systems upgrades, and avionics modernization are primary considerations affecting resale and charter demand for this specific serial-numbered Citation II.
