N175J

The airframe, registered as N175J, is a 1989-built Cessna 650 Citation III with serial number 650-0168. Owned by AIR KING INC TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, US, the aircraft remains US-registered and is recorded as operated from that locale. Registry entries identify the owner as a corporate trustee rather than an individual operator; no additional transfer history or notable incidents are published in the supplied data. The airframe is valued at $900,000, reflecting its age and configuration as a late-1980s high-performance business jet.

The cabin of this specific Citation III follows the model-typical executive layout with seating for 2 pilots + 8–12 passengers, a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory, arranged to support executive transport and small-group charter missions. Avionics and systems fit are not detailed in the supplied data; however, mission usage for this airframe is consistent with medium-to-long-range business travel originating from its operator base in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Typical roles would include cross-country and transcontinental trips within the aircraft’s 2,348 nm range at high-subsonic cruise speeds around 472 kts. Given the aircraft’s 1989 manufacture date and listed valuation of $900,000, ongoing maintenance, avionics refreshes, and compliance with aging-aircraft service bulletins are notable operational considerations for the owner/operator.

The Cessna 650 Citation III occupies a high-performance business-jet niche characterized by long-range cruise capability and a 51,000 ft service ceiling, enabling efficient point-to-point executive transport. In the used market this family competes with other late-model mid-to-large cabin business jets offering similar transcontinental performance; buyer demand generally favors examples with comprehensive maintenance records and updated avionics. Resale and charter-market considerations for this 1989 airframe center on its operational economics, maintenance history, and the impact of its $900,000 valuation on potential refurbishment or avionics upgrade investments.
