N501HS

The airframe bearing tail number N501HS is a 1979-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, serial number 501-0096, whose recorded ownership is held by Garry L. Lewis of Livingston, Louisiana, United States. The airframe is registered in the United States and is documented as a single-pilot I/SP configuration with a typical executive interior. The available records indicate a straightforward ownership history with no additional operators listed and no publicly noted registry actions or incident history. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data.

The subject airframe is fitted in a typical 5–6 place executive layout consistent with the single-pilot I/SP configuration; the published seating count for this specific aircraft is 5, indicating a slightly abbreviated executive fit in this example. As a single-pilot Citation I/SP, this airframe is intended for owner-operator use or small corporate operations, based out of Livingston, LA for the listed owner. While specific avionics and interior finish levels are not provided, the configuration supports short to medium-range missions up to 1,328 nm and cruise operations at approximately 357 kts, making it suitable for point-to-point business travel. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow JT15D-1 engine schedules and Citation I-series airframe programs as applicable to a 1979 serial number 501-0096.

The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies the light-business jet performance niche for owner-piloted operations, offering transregional range and a maximum certified ceiling of 41,000 ft powered by two JT15D-1 turbofans. Competing models in the same era and segment typically include other late-1970s light jets offering similar single-pilot capability; buyer interest for such airframes centers on owner-operators and small corporate users. Market and resale considerations for this 1979 airframe would hinge on airframe hours, engine cycles on the JT15D-1 powerplants, and the completeness of maintenance records for serial 501-0096.
