Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N111LJ is a 1982-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0350. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by SOUREK TRAIL CO INC, a corporation based in Barberton, OH, US, which serves as its operator and home base. The airframe retains its original two-engine configuration and an executive interior in an 8-passenger layout typical for the model. Current valuation is listed at $1,000,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and market position.

The cabin of this airframe is configured in an 8-passenger executive layout (typical for Citation II), providing a conventional corporate interior for short- to medium-haul missions. With the specified Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines, the aircraft supports cruise speeds around 399 kts and a long-range capability of 1,998 nm, suiting point-to-point regional operations and corporate shuttling. Based at Barberton, OH, US under corporate ownership by SOUREK TRAIL CO INC, the Citation II airframe would typically be employed on business and personal transport missions; maintenance considerations for a 1982 airframe include aging systems and airframe fatigue inspections consistent with its serial and build year. The 43,000 ft service ceiling supports high-altitude routing when operationally advantageous.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a light business jet niche with twin JT15D powerplants delivering moderate thrust and economical short-field performance. In its class, it competes with other light jets that offer similar seating and range profiles, with buyer and charter demand frequently influenced by age, interior condition, and engine life limits. For this specific airframe—serial 550-0350—resale and maintenance considerations are affected by its 1982 build year and an indicated market value of $1,000,000, which buyers factor against inspection findings, avionics fit, and engine cycles.
