N501GB

This airframe, registered as N501GB, is a Cessna 500 Citation I built in 1974 with serial number 500-0231. The airframe is recorded as owned by Jetcocinas LLC Trustee, a corporate owner based in Wilmington, DE, US, which is the current registrant and operator/home-base point on public listing. The airframe’s registry shows standard corporate ownership rather than individual private ownership, and no other registry actions or prior owners are published in the supplied data. Condition and valuation details beyond owner-reported capacity are not published in the supplied dataset.

The Citation I airframe typically carries a compact executive interior with a typical 5–8 passenger executive layout and club seating common; the current owner-reported capacity is 8. For this specific airframe, the cabin configuration is consistent with light business jet executive missions, supporting short- to medium-range trips within the aircraft’s 1,328 nm range at cruise speeds near 357 kts. Avionics fit and specific onboard amenities are not published for this airframe, though operating considerations for a 1974-built airframe include routine attention to aging-airframe maintenance and periodic engine and avionics updates consistent with corporate operation. Operator base is indicated by the owner’s Wilmington, Delaware registration; typical mission profiles would be executive transport, day trips, and point-to-point regional charters or corporate moves within the aircraft’s performance envelope.

The Cessna 500 Citation I occupies the light twinjet executive segment, offering modest transcontinental capability at a maximum indicated ceiling of 41,000 ft and practical cruise of 357 kts, making it suitable for regional and some extended-regional missions. With two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-1 engines rated at 2,200 lbf each, operators prioritize straightforward performance and lower-cycle operational costs relative to larger jets, while acknowledging increased maintenance emphasis on older airframes. Buyer and charter demand for such vintage Citation Is tends to center on cost-conscious operators seeking classic light-jet capability and flexibility within the stated range and seating capacity.
