Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N495CM is a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1980 with serial number 550-0151. It is registered in the United States and owned by the corporation ABOVE & BEYOND AVIATION INC, based in Anchorage, AK, US, with the current ownership reflecting a corporate operator rather than a private individual. No public record of significant registry transfers or major incidents is published for this airframe in the supplied data. The aircraft’s condition and valuation are not published in the provided dataset.
The airframe’s eight-seat configuration indicates a typical light business jet interior tailored for small-group executive transport or corporate shuttle duties. Operated from Anchorage, AK, US, the aircraft is most likely deployed on medium-range missions consistent with its 1,900 nm range and 369 kt cruise speed, supporting regional point-to-point flights within Alaska and into neighboring regions. Cabin layout and specific avionics fit for this individual airframe are not published in the supplied data; maintenance and operational considerations therefore center on corporate ownership logistics and seasonal operations from Anchorage. Ownership by a corporation based in Anchorage suggests an operational profile aligned with charter or corporate support roles rather than private recreational use.
The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a light business jet niche offering trans-regional capability, compact cabin accommodations and a high-altitude ceiling of 43,000 ft for efficient cruise. Competing models in this class typically emphasize similar eight-passenger layouts and short-to-medium range performance; fleet demand often derives from charter operators and corporations requiring flexible regional transport. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific 1980 airframe, serial 550-0151, reflect typical age-related inspection cycles and component life limits for the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines, with marketability influenced by documented ownership, regional operator base, and service history (not published here).
