N181G

This airframe, registered N181G, is a 1990-built Cessna S550 Citation S/II with serial number S550-0006. The aircraft has been owned by MID SOUTH AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS INC, a corporate owner based in Lafayette, LA, US, and is registered in the US. Registry entries and listings for the airframe have noted avionics upgrades and equipment such as TCAS II on sales or equipment reports, and valuation sources place the aircraft at $856,000, reflecting condition and market position for a late-model S/II with modernized avionics.

The airframe is configured in a typical executive arrangement with a 6–8 place cabin layout and a belted aft lavatory, consistent with operator expectations for corporate transport. Avionics on listings show a Collins Pro Line II suite with notable upgrades including a Garmin GTN-725, a UNS-1L flight management/approach system, and TCAS II reported on listings, enhancing situational awareness and navigation capability. With a cruise speed of 403 kts and a maximum practical range near 1,998 nm, the aircraft is routinely suitable for short- to medium-haul corporate missions and regional charters operated from its home base in Lafayette, LA. Maintenance considerations for this specific S/II reflect the JT15D-4 twin-engine commonality and the presence of upgraded avionics which may affect inspection scopes and equipment log continuity.

The Cessna S550 Citation S/II occupies a light-to-midsize business jet niche characterized by efficient short-field performance and economical turbofan operation. In the late 1980s and early 1990s market, it competed with contemporaries that prioritized similar mission profiles—regional corporate flights and light charter duties. Buyer and charter demand for well-equipped S/II airframes often hinges on avionics modernization and engine condition; for N181G, the Pro Line II suite with Garmin and UNS-1L upgrades and reported TCAS II improves operational desirability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial S550-0006 reflect age-related structural and avionics upgrade costs balanced against its relatively modest market valuation of $856,000.
