Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N518N, is a 1987-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0563. The aircraft is listed as owned by GTT LLC, an LLC based in Panama City Beach, FL, US, and is registered in the US. Public summaries do not list an intervening operator history or notable registry actions, and no valuation or condition report is published in the supplied data. The airframe’s documented ownership and home location indicate its primary basing and administrative operator address in northwest Florida.

The cabin for this airframe is described generically as a typical 6–8 place executive layout; the specific interior arrangement for this airframe is not listed in the public summary. Avionics fit and specific mission equipment are not published for this serial, so operational capability should be confirmed through current logs or owner records before assignment. With the Citation II’s performance figures—longer range and higher cruise relative to many light jets—this airframe is suitable for regional executive transport, owner-flown missions, and short to mid-range charter hops from its Panama City Beach base. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft would follow the Citation II program and the JT15D-4 engine maintenance intervals; any unique amenities or modifications for N518N are not documented in the provided data.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental regional capability with economical operating costs for its era. Performance attributes such as a 403 kt cruise and near-2,000 nm range place it competitively against contemporaries like the Learjet 31/35 and early Hawker 700-series in owner-operator and small-fleet charter markets. Buyers and operators typically weigh airframe age (this example built in 1987) and engine JT15D-4 support when considering acquisition; resale values and maintenance overheads are heavily influenced by avionics retrofits, interior condition, and documented maintenance history.
