N125DS

This entry documents airframe N125DS, a Cessna 500 Citation I built in 1975 with serial number 500-0258. The airframe's ownership history is recorded as Italicized: multiple historical owners, currently listed as Unknown / Multiple historical owners under corporate ownership, with no fixed operator or home base published. There are no specific notable registry actions publicly detailed for this airframe; its market valuation is recorded at $791,000, while condition and active status have not been published in the provided data. The aircraft remains cataloged as a U.S.-registered, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet of its original production era.

This specific Citation I airframe is configured with a typical small light-jet executive cabin offering a 6–8 place executive layout with an aft baggage area, consistent with its original interior arrangement; the published data describes the cabin as a typical executive layout rather than bespoke refurbishments. No avionics fit, modification history, or operator base details are provided for this serial, so operational records such as typical routings or specific charter use are not published here. Given the Citation I’s design and the listed range and cruise speed, mission profiles for this airframe would historically include short- to medium-range corporate point-to-point transportation and light charter duties. Maintenance considerations specific to this aircraft are not detailed in the data set.

The Cessna 500 Citation I occupies an early light-jet performance niche characterized by moderate cruise speed, trans-regional range, and economical operation for its era; this example’s cruise of 357 kts and ceiling of 41,000 ft reflect that family standard. Contemporary competing models historically included other light jets of the 1970s and later developments in the Citation line; buyer and charter demand for older Citation I airframes is typically influenced by age, engine support, and refurbishments. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe would hinge on airframe hours, engine cycles on the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4B engines, and any unlisted updates to avionics or interior—none of which are published in the supplied data.
