N149JS

The airframe bearing registration N149JS is a 2009-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign, constructor serial number 680-0281, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is owned and operated by the corporate entity J R SIMPLOT CO, based in Boise, ID, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s documented market valuation is $8,000,000, and its configuration and equipment reflect a typical executive transport role for its era and operator. No public record of other ownership transfers or major registry actions for this specific tail number is provided in the supplied data.

The aircraft is outfitted in a typical nine-passenger executive club (double-club) layout with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory; the precise internal finish and any bespoke modifications for N149JS have not been publicly published. Avionics for the type are commonly fitted with the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, which is noted as the typical fit for the model and likely applied to this airframe. Operated from Boise, ID, US by J R SIMPLOT CO, the airframe is suited to corporate transport, medium- to long-range point-to-point missions and business executive travel. Maintenance considerations follow the Citation Sovereign’s twin-engine turbofan program requirements and corporate maintenance scheduling consistent with a high-utilization executive fleet asset.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a midsize business jet niche offering transcontinental range and elevated cruise speeds for its class. With a maximum cruise near 459 kts and a cruise ceiling of 47,000 ft, the model competes with other midsize cabins offering similar range-performance balances. Typical buyers and charter operators value the Sovereign for its cabin comfort, reliability of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300-series engines, and operational economics; resale and maintenance considerations for a 2009 airframe factor age, cycle history, and avionics fit such as the Honeywell Primus Epic.
