Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N420KH, is a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1982 with serial number 550-0364. The aircraft is owned by Lonestar Aviation LLC, a corporation based in Connecticut, US, which serves as the operator and home base for the airframe. Registration is in the US, and the airframe is representative of early-1980s Citation IIs with the specific Pratt & Whitney engines installed at manufacture. No additional valuation or condition records beyond ownership and registration are provided in the available data.

The cabin of N420KH is fitted in a typical 8-place executive layout, suitable for small corporate or charter missions. With its near-2,000 nm range and an economical cruise of 369 kts, typical mission profiles include regional and transcontinental point-to-point executive transport within the continental United States. Based in Connecticut, US, the corporate owner operates the airframe for private business use and likely schedules maintenance consistent with Pratt & Whitney JT15D-4B engine programs; these engines are a key maintenance consideration for the type given their central role in performance and reliability. No specific avionics fit or interior refurbishment history is provided in the supplied data.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and cabin flexibility compared with earlier Citation variants. With a service ceiling of 43,000 ft and a practical range of 1,998 nm, it competes with contemporaries in the early-1980s light business jet market. Buyer and charter demand for individual airframes such as N420KH is influenced by engine program status, overall airframe condition, and the availability of upgrades; maintenance and resale considerations for this specific serial (550-0364) center on the lifecycle of the Pratt & Whitney JT15D-4B engines and the economics of refurbishing an early-1980s executive interior.
