Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N351CJ is a 1982-built Cessna 550 Citation II with manufacturer's serial 550-0351. The airframe is listed as registered to Skyview LLC of Wilmington, Delaware, a corporate owner and operator based in Wilmington, DE, US. The airframe carries a US registration and its recorded market valuation in available data is $922,375, reflecting its age and configuration. No further public registry actions or ownership transfers are detailed beyond the noted corporate ownership and valuation.
This specific Citation II is outfitted in a typical executive eight-place center-club cabin with an enclosed aft lavatory and forward refreshment/galley, matching common corporate configurations for passenger comfort. The seating arrangement supports short- to medium-range business missions up to the published range of 1,998 nm, enabling transcontinental sectors within the continental United States and regional international hops. Operator maintenance and mission planning would focus on managing twin JT15D turbofan maintenance cycles and ensuring systems appropriate to executive transport are current; specific avionics fit and equipment lists are not published for this airframe. Based from the owner's location in Wilmington, DE, typical operational profiles would include executive transportation, on-demand charter or corporate shuttles operating from regional business airports.
The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a light-cabin, turbofan-powered niche in the early 1980s business jet market, providing higher cruise speeds and ceiling than many piston or turboprop alternatives of that era. Competing models in the same class include contemporaneous light jets offering similar passenger counts and range; buyers and charter operators value the Citation II for straightforward systems and a proven airframe. Market and resale considerations for this specific airframe include its 1982 vintage, twin JT15D engines with 2,500 lbf thrust each, eight-place executive interior, and the stated valuation of $922,375, which will influence maintenance budgeting and buyer interest.
