N30RL

The airframe bearing registration N30RL is a 1990-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0653. The aircraft is owned by ROMEO TANGO AVIATION LLC, an Alabama-based limited liability company operating from Rockford, AL, US, and is listed in U.S. civil registry. The listing for this airframe indicates a market valuation of $875,000 and describes the airframe as an eight-seat executive-configured Citation II; specific condition notes from recent records are limited to the advertised outfitting and avionics summary. Ownership by ROMEO TANGO AVIATION LLC and the U.S. registration are the primary documented administrative details for this airframe.

The cabin of N30RL is configured in an eight-passenger executive layout with a center-club arrangement, two forward-facing aft seats, and a belted aft lav seat as described in listing content. Listed avionics for this airframe include Honeywell ED-600 and Sperry SPZ-5000 IFCS components plus dual Collins TDR-90 transponders, though the notation that “specific fitment varies by individual aircraft” indicates fitted equipment may differ from the listing. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type and the supplied performance numbers suggest short-to-medium range executive transport and charter roles, operating from regional U.S. hubs based on the owner’s Rockford, AL location. Maintenance considerations align with older Citation II airframes: JT15D-4 engine support, avionics upgrades variability, and airframe age-related inspections.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental legs on favorable winds within the stated 1,930 nm range and cruise at 385 kts to FL430. Competitive alternatives historically include light-medium jets from manufacturers such as Beechcraft and Learjet of similar vintage; buyers often weigh acquisition price—here $875,000—against maintenance, avionics upgrade needs, and engine program status. Resale considerations for this specific airframe center on documented equipment fitment variability and owner/operator records, with demand driven by owner-operators and charter operators seeking a cost-effective, high-performance classic Citation II.
