The airframe bearing tail number N370TP is a 1984-built Cessna 650 Citation III, serial 650-0059, and is recorded as owned by PHMI AVIATION LLC of Lewes, DE, US. The airframe is registered in the US and currently appears to be operated under corporate ownership rather than an individual owner. Notable registry actions include its maintained United States registration; detailed transaction history beyond current ownership is not published. Valuation notes indicate an estimated market value of $899,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and continuing utility in the light-medium corporate jet sector.

The airframe is typically outfitted in an executive layout that accommodates 8–12 passengers consistent with Citation III norms, though exact configuration for N370TP may vary by operator. Mission profiles generally align with corporate and charter operations supporting transcontinental and regional point-to-point flights within the aircraft’s 2,348 nm range and cruise speed near 423 kt, optimized for high-altitude cruise up to 51,000 ft. Based at the owner’s stated location in Lewes, DE, US, operational considerations for this airframe include managing age-related maintenance on the Garrett TFE731 powerplants and maintaining avionics and interior refurbishments to meet corporate standards. The cabin and equipment fit will reflect operator choices; specific avionics fit for N370TP is not published.

The Cessna 650 Citation III occupies a niche as a higher-performance, long-range light-medium business jet introduced in the 1980s, offering transcontinental capability for small corporate groups. Competing models historically include other large-cabin light jets and early super-midsize types; demand for older Citation IIIs is driven by buyers seeking performance at lower acquisition cost, as reflected in the $899,000 valuation for this airframe. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial—650-0059—center on engine life-cycle management for the Garrett TFE731 series, interior refurbishments, and avionics upgrades to maintain marketability to corporate or charter operators.
