N1TY

This airframe, N1TY, is a 1980-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0171. Manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company, the airframe is registered in the United States and is currently owned by individual OWENS SCOTTY of Crofton, KY, US. The airframe’s recorded value is $925,000, reflecting its market position for late-1970s/early-1980s light business jets. Registered to OWENS SCOTTY as an individual operator, the aircraft’s operational history beyond basic registry and ownership has not been published in the supplied data.

The aircraft is typically fitted in a six–to–eight passenger executive layout; the specific interior fit for N1TY has not been published. Avionics fit and detailed equipment lists for this individual airframe are not provided in the available data. Operationally, a Citation II with the quoted cruise speed of 399 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 43,000 ft is commonly employed on regional business missions and private owner travel, enabling transcontinental U.S. ranges approaching 1,998 nm under optimal conditions. Based at the owner’s primary location in Crofton, KY by registry, maintenance considerations for a 1980 airframe include typical inspection cycles and component life-limited items for Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-1 engines, though specific maintenance status for N1TY is not published.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-cabin business jet niche with twin-engine reliability, competitive cruise speeds near 399 kts, and useful transcontinental range for its era. Contemporary competitors in the market segment include other light-cabin jets from the late 1970s and 1980s, where buyer demand often focuses on acquisition price, refurbishment costs, and engine/airframe hours. The indicated value of $925,000 places N1TY within the lower-to-mid price band for Citation IIs, reflecting age, mission capability, and the resumption of owner-operated missions versus charter use. Resale considerations for a 1980 Citation II typically emphasize engine life remaining, avionics upgrades, interior condition, and the availability of parts and qualified maintenance for JT15D-1 engines.
