Model & Market Context

This article covers the single airframe bearing tail number N26496, a factory-built Cessna 550 Citation II completed in 1989 with serial number 550-0607. The airframe is owned by CYPRESS AIRCRAFT SALES LLC, an LLC based in Clermont, FL, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft’s history for this entry focuses on its build provenance and current ownership; notable registry actions are limited to its US registration and the recorded ownership by the Clermont-based LLC. Condition and valuation highlights are not published beyond the owner-declared status and the aircraft’s continued listing as an eight-place executive cabin Citation II.

The airframe is equipped with an 8-place executive cabin, configured to typical light-cabin corporate standards for the Citation II series; specific interior appointments and avionics fit for this individual ship are not published beyond the eight-seat executive layout. Operationally, the type and performance allow for medium-range corporate missions and single-leg transcontinental sectors consistent with a 1,807 nm range and cruise speeds near 369 kts, making it suitable for owner-flown or light charter use from its home region in Florida. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect standard Pratt & Whitney JT15D-4 engine servicing intervals and Citation II airframe inspections; any unique maintenance records or interior refurbishments for N26496 are not published in the provided data.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the small-to-light business jet niche, offering a balance of runway performance, range, and operating economics for eight passengers. Competing models in its era include other light jets with similar capacities; buyer and charter demand historically favors well-maintained examples with complete logs. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine program status for the JT15D-4 units and the airframe’s logged maintenance history; specific market valuation for N26496 is not published in the supplied data.
