This airframe, registered as N501EJ, is a 1973-built Cessna 500 Citation I with serial number 500-0119. The listed owner is WNO TRUST SERVICES LLC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, which reflects the most recent ownership entry available in the data. The airframe carries a typical late-Citation executive configuration and is appraised in the provided data at $496,494, a valuation that indicates its position in the pre-owned light-corporate jet market. No additional registry actions or change-of-operator events are published beyond the trustee ownership noted.

The cabin for this airframe is described as a typical executive layout accommodating 5–8 passengers, with listings commonly showing a 5–6 passenger executive interior; the configuration supports short to medium-range corporate missions. Avionics fitment varies by listing and airframe, with reported installations that have included units such as a King KR-87, Dual King KX-165, Sperry SPZ-500, BendixKing KMD-850 MFD, and TCAS 2000, so equipment standardization should be confirmed for operational planning. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would center on light-corporate transport, ferry flights within its 1,328 nm range, and placements where runway performance and single-pilot or two-pilot light-jet operation are priorities. Operator base and maintenance records are not published beyond the trustee ownership; maintenance considerations include legacy-systems avionics variability and age-related airframe/component inspections.

The Cessna 500 Citation I occupies the light twin-jet niche, offering moderate cruise speed and a maximum certified ceiling suitable for efficient regional travel. Within its class it competes for buyers against other early-generation light business jets where purchase decisions hinge on airframe-condition, avionics retrofit state, and engine-support agreements. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its 1973 build year, varied avionics fits across listings, and an assessed market value of $496,494, making thorough pre-purchase inspection and avionics/engine life-cycle review essential for prospective operators.
