Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N168BG is a 1995-built business jet, a Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with serial number 5600301. The aircraft is owned by ABBOTT AIR INC, a corporate owner based in Hydro, Oklahoma, United States, and carries a US registration. The unit’s documented valuation is $2,200,000, reflecting its status as a mid‑1990s turbofan light business jet that has been operated in an executive configuration. Ownership under ABBOTT AIR INC is the primary recorded operator history for this specific airframe.
The cabin of this Cessna 560 Citation Ultra is noted as a typical executive layout featuring a forward divan, mid‑cabin club seating, and an aft belted lavatory; reported seating configurations for the model vary from seven to eleven depending on operator choice, and this airframe is listed with an eleven‑seat capability. Avionics fit for this airframe is typical of Citation Ultra retrofits and standard installs, with a Honeywell Primus 1000 suite indicated. Operationally, this configuration supports short to medium‑range executive missions consistent with a 1,960 nm range and a 430 kt cruise speed, with the performance ceiling of 45,000 ft enabling high‑altitude cruise profiles. Maintenance and interior refurbishment considerations reflect its mid‑1990s build year and corporate ownership.
As a member of the Cessna 560 Citation Ultra family, this airframe occupies the light/corporate jet niche characterized by twin JT15D engines and executive cabin flexibility. Competing aircraft in its market role typically balance relatively low acquisition cost and efficient short‑to‑mid‑range capability; the stated market value of $2,200,000 places this example within the used‑aircraft sector where buyer demand often focuses on avionics upgrades and interior condition. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial and year emphasize engine program status, avionics currency such as the Honeywell Primus 1000, and cabin configuration when assessing operator appeal.
