Model & Market Context

The airframe registered as N2Q is a 2005-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign, serial number 680-0051, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). This specific airframe is owned by AIR SANSONE LLC of Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US for fixed‑wing multi‑engine operations. The aircraft's registry record and ownership are notable for the single LLC ownership listing in public records, and its market valuation is recorded at $4,700,000, reflecting its mid‑2000s build year and configuration. Maintenance condition details are not published beyond typical fleet standards for this model.

The cabin of this Sovereign is furnished in a typical executive layout accommodating 7–9 passengers, featuring a double‑club forward and aft, a single side‑facing seat near the entry, and an aft lavatory and refreshment center consistent with operator expectations. Avionics are fitted in the typical Sovereign configuration with a Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting integrated flight management, communications, and advanced situational awareness for business and charter missions. Operationally, the airframe’s performance — including a 2,820 nm range and high cruise speed — suits medium‑to‑long domestic and trans‑border executive missions from its operator base in Wilmington, DE. Routine maintenance considerations align with Pratt & Whitney PW300‑series engine support and Sovereign airframe inspection cycles; no unique modifications or supplemental type certificates are published for this aircraft.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a mid‑size business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with high cruise speed and a 47,000 ft ceiling relative to light jets. Competing models typically include other midsize business jets offering similar range and cabin layouts; buyer and charter demand for Sovereign examples is sustained by favorable operating economics and cabin comfort. Resale value and maintenance costs are influenced by engine type — the PW306C series — and avionics fit such as the Honeywell Primus Epic, both factors that affect aftermarket desirability and lifecycle support.
