This entry documents the specific airframe bearing registration N50US, a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1980 by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) with serial number 550-0181. The public record for this airframe’s ownership timeline is not published, and the operator and home base for this particular aircraft are not published. Registry status is indicated as U.S. registration (US), while valuation and condition highlights for this individual airframe are not published. The airframe is categorized as a fixed‑wing multi‑engine business jet and retains the original configuration characteristics common to early Citation IIs.

The cabin of this Cessna 550 Citation II airframe is configured in a typical 7–8 place executive layout, accommodating either a single‑club arrangement or a forward club with an aft lavatory and baggage area, reflecting the factory interior options for the model. With a cruise speed of 369 kts and a maximum practical range of 1,711 nm, the aircraft suits point‑to‑point executive missions and short transcontinental trips within the continental United States when operated from a U.S. base; the specific operator base for N50US is not published. Avionics fit and specific onboard amenities for this airframe are not published, and any unique maintenance or retrofitting history for this serial (550-0181) is likewise not published in the available data.

As a Cessna 550 Citation II manufactured in 1980, this airframe represents the Citation II family’s configuration aimed at light business jet operations with seating for 8, moderate transcontinental range (1,711 nm), and a certified ceiling of 43,000 ft. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 turbofans producing 2,500 lbf each, the type occupies a performance niche defined by the combination of cruise speed, climb capability associated with its ceiling, and relatively compact cabin. For this individual airframe, age (1980 build year) and original engine type are primary factors affecting maintenance considerations and market interest, while specific resale or charter demand indicators for N50US are not published.
