N18HJ

The airframe bearing tail number N18HJ is a 1988-built airframe of the Cessna 550 Citation II, manufacturer serial 550-0587, currently registered in the United States. The aircraft is owned by the Texas-based corporation FANAC LLC, located in Palestine, TX, and is recorded as a corporate operator/home-base arrangement. Registered and operated as a corporate executive transport, this airframe’s public valuation is listed at $691,569, reflecting its late-1980s build, multi-engine configuration, and typical market depreciation for its model and vintage. Registry status and notable maintenance entries are not published beyond the ownership and registration details provided.

This specific Citation II is fitted in a typical eight-passenger executive layout with a center-club seating arrangement and a forward refreshment center; the exact interior fit and finish beyond that configuration are not published. The combination of a 1,900 nm range and a 384-knot cruise speed suits the airframe to short international or domestic corporate missions, point-to-point charter hops, and owner-operated business travel from its Palestine, TX base. Avionics fit and modifications for this serial are not provided, so equipment specifics and any upgraded flight-deck systems remain unlisted. Given its twin JT15D-4 engines and 1988 manufacture date, routine maintenance considerations for this airframe would focus on age-related inspections, engine life limits, and corrosion-prevention measures typical for late-model Citation light jets.

The Cessna 550 Citation II family occupies the light-cabin, multi-engine business jet niche, offering modest range and high-speed cruise for short- to mid-range corporate missions. Competitors in its vintage class include other late-model light jets offering similar cruise speeds and seating capacities; buyer and charter demand for such airframes is driven by operating economics, maintenance history, and interior condition. For this airframe, the listed value of $691,569 and its 1988 serial suggest that resale considerations will center on engine cycle status, avionics upgrades, and any completed structural or interior refurbishments when assessing marketability.
