N28LA

This write-up concerns airframe N28LA, a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1980 carrying manufacturer's serial number 550-0200. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by LV AIR LLC, an LLC based in Lompoc, CA, US; ownership recorded to LV AIR LLC. No other public registry actions or valuation details are available—Not published. The airframe's manufacturer is Cessna (Textron Aviation) and it is listed in the category fixed-wing multi-engine.

The subject aircraft features an 8-place executive layout cabin configured for business transport with seating for eight passengers. Operator and home base activity is tied to LV AIR LLC in Lompoc, CA, supporting short-to-medium haul executive missions within the aircraft's 1,903 nm range and typical cruise speed of 385 kts. Specific avionics fit, interior finish levels, and recent maintenance records are Not published, so detailed commentary on in-service amenities or unique cabin modifications for this airframe cannot be provided. Routine maintenance considerations for a 1980-model Citation II would typically reflect age-related inspection cycles and legacy-system support, but no aircraft-specific maintenance events are listed.

The airframe is an example of the Cessna 550 Citation II family—a light business jet line intended for eight to ten passengers combining turbofan efficiency with modest runway performance and a maximum practical cruise ceiling near 43,000 ft. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines (each rated at 2,500 lbf), the type occupies a performance niche competitive with contemporaries in late-1970s/early-1980s light-cabin business jets. Buyer and charter demand for individual airframes depends heavily on documented maintenance history, interior condition, and avionics modernization—none of which are published for N28LA. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial and build era typically emphasize time-controlled component status and potential upgrade paths.
