N50VS

The airframe bearing registration N50VS is a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1980 with manufacturer serial number 550-0181. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned and operated by CITATION TIME LLC, an LLC based in Seguin, TX, US. The airframe’s documented corporate ownership and U.S. registration form its principal operational and legal history in public records. Valued at approximately $900,000, this example represents a late-1970s/early-1980s Citation II in continued corporate flight department or owner-operator service.

This serial is typically configured in an executive eight-passenger layout consistent with the original factory or common aftermarket executive interiors for this model, providing forward club seating and a belted lavatory or refreshment center depending on refit history. Based in Seguin, Texas under CITATION TIME LLC, its mission profile likely centers on short- to mid-range corporate point-to-point flights, regional repositioning hops, and charter or owner travel within the continental United States. Avionics fit and specific cabin amenities for this airframe are not published in the supplied data; routine maintenance considerations for a 1980 airframe include fatigue and corrosion inspections, engine life-limited component tracking for the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 powerplants, and compliance with any Supplemental Type Certificates installed over its service life.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light to lower medium business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability than entry-level pistons and turboprops while remaining more economical to operate than larger midsize jets. With a cruise of 374 kts, a ceiling of 43,000 ft, and a range near 1,998 nm, it competes historically with aircraft such as the Learjet 35/36 and earlier Beechjet models. Market considerations for this specific 1980 serial include its age-driven maintenance and avionics upgrade needs; at an indicated value of $900,000, resale and charter demand will hinge on logbook completeness, installed avionics, and the condition of interiors and engines.
