N294RT

This article covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N294RT, a Cessna 560 Citation Ultra built in 1995 with serial number 560-0264. The aircraft was manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is owned by J & S WINGS LLC, a corporation based in Tuscaloosa, AL, US. The airframe is registered in the US and is valued at $2,200,000 based on the provided data; no other registry transactions or historical operators are published in the supplied dataset. Current condition highlights are limited to the valuation and basic configuration details supplied.

The airframe is configured with an executive cabin layout consistent with the Citation Ultra generation, described as an executive arrangement typically seating 7–11 pax with an enclosed lavatory; individual aircraft layout may vary. Avionics for this airframe follow the typical fit for the Ultra generation, noted as Honeywell/Collins Primus-class, though the specific installation on this serial may vary. Typical missions for a Citation Ultra of this specification include short-to-medium-range executive transport and on-demand charter flights commensurate with a 1,960 nm range and 430 kt cruise speed; the listed operator base in Tuscaloosa, Alabama suggests regional U.S. operations. Maintenance considerations follow those common to late-1990s Pratt & Whitney JT15D-powered light business jets, with parts, engine shop visits, and avionics updating driven by individual aircraft configuration and operator requirements.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies a light to midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental regional capability within its 1,960 nm range and a 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in its era included other light jets with similar performance and cabin flexibility; buyer and charter demand historically targets operators seeking economical, short-to-medium haul executive transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 1995 build year, Pratt & Whitney JT15D propulsion, and the typical avionics fit, all of which influence lifecycle costs and market valuation.
