N516KG

This entry describes the specific airframe registered as N516KG, a 1977-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP with serial number 501-0023. The airframe is recorded as owned by BRISKET EXPRESS AIRCRAFT COMPANY LLC, an LLC based in Teton Village, WY, US, which serves as the operator/home base in registry records. There are no additional notable registry actions published beyond the current ownership; the airframe’s recorded market valuation is $313,513, reflecting its status and condition as a late-1970s light business jet. Maintenance and valuation histories are consistent with continued private operation under the listed owner.

The airframe is outfitted in an executive 8-place layout typical for the Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, configured for business or owner-flown missions with a compact executive cabin. Avionics fitment for this individual aircraft is not published in the supplied data; typical mission profiles for this airframe and operator would include short- to mid-range point-to-point corporate flights within the continental United States, leveraging the aircraft’s cruise speed and range. Based at Teton Village, WY, the operator likely conducts charter or private transport in mountainous regional environments, where performance considerations such as engine thrust and service ceiling are operationally relevant. Regular maintenance considerations align with vintage airframe practices and Pratt & Whitney JT15D-1 engine support.

The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies the light business jet niche, offering modest speed and cabin comfort for late-1970s designs; with a cruise of 357 kts and a ceiling of 41,000 ft it remained competitive with contemporary light jets. Typical competitors include other light-cabin jets of the era; market demand for such airframes is driven by owner-operators and niche charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe — serial 501-0023 and registration N516KG — reflect age, availability of JT15D engine support, and the recorded valuation of $313,513.
