N308TW

This airframe, registered N308TW, is a 1979-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0044. It is owned by CENTRAL CONNECTICUT AIRCRAFT LLC, an LLC based in Plainville, CT, US, which serves as the operator and home base for the aircraft. The citation is U.S.-registered and retains the original twin-engine configuration from its manufacturer, Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). Public records on detailed valuation and interior provenance are limited; the airframe is noted for its long service life and typical executive use under private corporate ownership.

The cabin for this specific airframe is configured in a typical 8-place executive arrangement with club seating, though the exact interior finish and fit for N308TW are not publicly listed. Operated from Plainville, Connecticut, the aircraft’s mission profile commonly aligns with short- to mid-range corporate and executive transport, leveraging its approximately 1,900 nm range and 385-knot cruise for efficient regional to transcontinental hops. The use of two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 turbofans imposes established maintenance cycles and parts-considerations typical of late-1970s Citation IIs, which operators and maintenance facilities manage through scheduled overhauls and life-limited component tracking. Avionics fit for this airframe is not published.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-to-mid-size business jet niche among older generation Citations, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability compared with earlier Citation models; N308TW’s 43,000 ft ceiling and 385-knot cruise reflect that performance envelope. Competing models in the market space typically include other late-1970s to 1980s light business jets that balance range and operating economics for corporate operators. Buyer and charter demand for well-maintained Citation IIs centers on affordability and practicality, but resale and maintenance considerations often hinge on engine and avionics upgrades, refurbishment of 8-place executive interiors, and the airframe’s maintenance history.
