N213JS

The airframe bearing tail number N213JS is a 1989-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial 550-0597. It is privately owned by Idlewood Aviation, listed as based in the Akron (KCAK) area in commercial directories. The airframe’s registry status and public listing indicate continued private operation rather than active commercial airline service. Valuation notes place this specific airframe at $814,295, reflecting its model, age and typical market condition for late‑1980s business jets.

This airframe is configured in a typical eight‑place executive layout with executive seating, a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory, though the exact fitment can vary by operator. Operated privately from the Akron area, its mission profile is consistent with short- to mid‑range business travel: point‑to‑point corporate trips, regional charters and owner‑flown missions within continental ranges up to roughly 1,998 nm. Avionics and interior fit tend to vary by owner and refurbishment history; no specific factory avionics fit is published for this individual serial in the supplied data. As a 1989 airframe, ongoing maintenance and component life‑cycle considerations typical to late‑model Citation IIs (engines, avionics upgrades and interior refurbishment) will influence operational availability and resale condition.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a light twin‑engine business jet niche defined by moderate cruise speed (here 384 kts) and transcontinental regional capability near 2,000 nm. It competes historically with contemporaries such as early Learjet and Hawker 400 series aircraft in owner‑operated and charter markets. For buyers and operators, maintenance intensity and avionics modernization are key resale and operational considerations for a 1989 airframe; the listed valuation of $814,295 reflects typical market pricing pressures for aircraft of this vintage and configuration.
