N510K

This entry describes airframe tail number N510K, a Cessna 510 Citation Mustang built in 2008 with serial number 510-0121. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by MUSTANG AIR LLC, an LLC based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which is the listed operator/home base for the aircraft. Registry records indicate standard corporate registration actions commensurate with private LLC ownership, and the airframe is appraised at $1,250,000, reflecting market factors for early-generation Citation Mustangs in private/charter service. No additional transfers or incidents are documented within the supplied data.

The aircraft is outfitted in a typical executive interior for the type: a four-passenger executive club layout with forward storage, dual executive tables and an aft side-facing non-belted lavatory seat; the registry lists 7 seats overall. Avionics are described as a Garmin G1000 installation, with many Mustang examples having later upgrades to the G1000 NXi — this airframe is noted with the Garmin G1000 fit as supplied. Typical mission profiles for this Mustang airframe include short- to mid-range business trips within a roughly 1,200 nm radius at cruise speeds near 340 kts, operating from a home base in Sioux Falls, SD. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect standard light-jet practices for twin PW615F-A engines and corporate/charter utilization cycles.

The Cessna 510 Citation Mustang occupies the very light jet niche, offering single-pilot capability, efficient short-field performance and a high cruise-to-range ratio for regional business missions. Competing models historically include other entry-level VLJs and light jets; demand centers on owner-operators and small charter operators seeking lower acquisition and operating costs. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008 airframe hinge on engine time, avionics modernization (notably G1000 → NXi upgrades), and interior condition, factors that are integral to the appraised $1,250,000 value.
