N135WC

This entry describes airframe N135WC, a 1994-built example of the Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with serial number 5600261. The jet is manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the United States; it is recorded as owned by CJ BLUE LLC, a corporation based in Little Rock, AR, US. The aircraft’s registration and corporate ownership are notable registry entries for this airframe, and the listed market valuation for this specific example is $2,200,000, reflecting its age and variant-specific equipment. The airframe presents as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet operated in an executive configuration typical for owner/operators or charter companies.

The airframe carries a typical executive cabin layout configured for 7–8 passengers with club seating, a forward galley, and an external baggage compartment while the aircraft is certificated to seat up to 11. Avionics fit for this Ultra variant is commonly the Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS, a frequently installed system on Citation Ultras that supports mixed analog/digital cockpits of the era. Operationally, the Citation Ultra’s combination of a near-2,000 nm range and 430 kt cruise speed positions this airframe for regional to trans‑regional point‑to‑point missions from its Little Rock, AR owner/operator base. Maintenance considerations for this specific jet include JT15D-5D engine support and legacy avionics lifecycle planning, given the 1994 build year.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra sits in the light-medium business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and cabin comfort than many light jets of its era while remaining more economical than larger midsize types. Competing models historically include late‑model light to lower midsize business jets that emphasize speed and short-field capability. Buyer and charter demand for a 1994 Ultra such as N135WC is driven by mission suitability, condition, and avionics/engine status; resale and maintenance considerations reflect age, engine program enrollment, and common upgrades such as avionics modernization for continued operational relevance.
