N510JC

This airframe, registered as N510JC, is a 1980-built Cessna 550 Citation II bearing serial number 550-0197. It is recorded as owned by MILLER TIMBER SERVICES INC, a corporate operator based in Philomath, OR, US, and appears in public listings and sale notices with an estimated market value of $800,000. Registry and listing information for this airframe has emphasized its age, configuration and avionics fit as reported on sale, with no separate historical operator sequence published beyond the current corporate owner. Condition and valuation notes in sale materials highlight typical considerations for late-1970s/early-1980s light business jets of this family, reflected in the stated asking price.

The airplane is fitted in an 8-seat executive layout with a center club and forward refreshment area plus a belted aft lavatory in the configuration reported for this specific airframe. Avionics reported on the sale/listing combine a Sperry EFIS with a Garmin RMX-200 MFD, a common retrofit approach to modernize cockpit situational awareness while retaining legacy systems. Typical mission profiles for this airframe and operator would include short- to medium-range corporate transport and charter legs within the aircraft’s 1,900 nm mission radius, operating from the owner’s Oregon base for business support and regional travel. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe reflect its age and serial-series maintenance history, and any operator transition would usually be accompanied by records review and avionics verification consistent with systems described in the listing.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-cabin, twin-engine business jet niche for which it has been marketed since the late 1970s, offering modest speed and range balanced against operating economy. Competitors historically include other light jets from manufacturers such as Learjet and Mitsubishi in similar vintage classes; resale values for Citation IIs often depend on avionics upgrades, engine program status, and airframe refurbishments. For buyers or charter operators, key considerations include parts availability, JT15D engine lifecycle status, and the implications of modern avionics retrofits such as the Sperry/ Garmin combination reported for this airframe when assessing maintenance cost and resale prospects.
