N228MH

This airframe, registered as N228MH, is a 1980-built Cessna 551 Citation II/SP with serial number 551-0050. The aircraft is owned by N228MH INC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe has the standard executive configuration and is reported at an estimated market value of $1,000,000; public registry entries and operator records indicate routine corporate ownership rather than airline or fractional operators.

The cabin is fitted in a typical 7–8 place executive layout, providing a conventional corporate interior for short- to medium-haul business missions. Avionics reflect original Sperry/Collins-era instrumentation typical to early Citation II/SP deliveries; retrofit suites vary by operator and specific upgrades for this airframe are operator-dependent. Mission profiles for this aircraft are consistent with corporate transport and charter work within a roughly 2,000 nm range envelope, operating from the continental United States and based out of the owner’s Wilmington, Delaware location. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the Citation II/SP program, with attention to legacy systems and potential avionics modernization when preparing the airframe for contemporary charter or sale.

The Cessna 551 Citation II/SP occupies a light to light-medium business jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speed and a service ceiling of 43,000 ft for its era. Competing models typically include contemporaneous light jets that emphasize similar short-field performance and corporate layouts. Demand in resale or entry-level corporate ownership is influenced by hours, avionics condition, and completion quality; with a listed value of $1,000,000, this airframe reflects the economic realities of maintaining older, twin-engine jets and the market need for avionics retrofits to remain competitive.
