N2GQ

This article covers a specific airframe, registered as N2GQ, a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1981 with serial number 550-0286. The aircraft is owned in Co-ownership (individuals) by COBB J MARK, based in Fayetteville, TN, US, and is registered in the US. Registry entries and ownership indicate a privately held executive airframe with an assessed market valuation of $900,000. Maintenance status and recent major inspections are not published in the provided data.

The airframe is configured with an 8-place executive seating cabin and is registered for 8 seats, indicating it is maintained in an executive transport layout rather than a high-density configuration. Based from Fayetteville, TN, US, its typical mission profile for this airframe would support short- to mid-range business trips consistent with its 1,807 nm range and 369 kts cruise speed. No specific avionics fit or aftermarket cabin modifications are published for this registration; routine operations would focus on owner-flown or owner-contracted flights in the light business jet role. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines and airframe age given the 1981 build year.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna 550 Citation II family, a light twin-engine business jet that occupies a niche for owner-operators and small charter operators seeking economical short-to-medium range capability with a high-altitude ceiling of 43,000 ft. Competing models in the period and residual market typically include other light jets with similar ranges and seating such as early Learjet and Hawker variants. Given the airframe’s age, buyer demand and resale considerations hinge on maintenance history, engine program status, and interior condition, with the listed valuation of $900,000 reflecting those long-term market factors.
