Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N393E, is a 1985-built Cessna S550 Citation S/II with serial number S550-0053. The aircraft is owned by HARVEST INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES INC, a corporate owner based in Texarkana, Arkansas, United States, and has been operated out of that locality as its principal base. The airframe carries a documented executive interior and a modernized avionics stack that support continued operational use in charter-style or corporate missions. Current estimated market value is $800,000, reflecting its age, equipment fit, and continued airworthiness status.

The cabin of this specific S/II is configured in an executive eight-passenger layout with a forward galley and an aft flushing lavatory, finished with beige leather seating and burl wood cabinetry that emphasize traditional corporate styling. Avionics aboard include a Garmin GTN 750 WAAS navigator, Garmin GTX-345R/GTX-335R transponders with ADS‑B IN/OUT capability, Honeywell KMH-880 IHAS EGPWS, Honeywell KMD-540 MFD, Sperry SPZ-500 autopilot, ART 2000 color radar and a Shadin Digidata fuel computer, providing a capable navigation and situational awareness package for IFR operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium-range executive transport and organiational travel within its near-2,000 nm range and high-speed cruise capability; maintenance considerations mirror those of similarly equipped JT15D-powered Citations, with attention to avionics integration and aging-cabin systems.

The Cessna S550 Citation S/II occupies the light corporate jet niche as a capable short- to medium-range business aircraft, offering a balance of speed and operational ceiling compared with turbofan light jets of its era. Competitors historically include other light jets with similar passenger capacity and range; market demand for airframes like N393E centers on owner-operators and mission-specific corporate operators seeking proven systems and upgradeable avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial (S550-0053) reflect normal aging airframe economics, with value influenced by the upgraded electronics, cabin condition, and engine time remaining.
