N519RJ

The airframe bearing registration N519RJ is a 1980-built Cessna 550 Citation II, serial number 550-0194. It is registered in the United States and held by AIRCRAFT HOLDING SOLUTIONS LLC TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in Newark, DE, US, indicating trustee-managed corporate ownership rather than private individual operation. The airframe’s documented configuration is an eight-passenger executive layout typical for the Citation II family. Valuation records list the airframe at $800,000, reflecting market expectations for a 1980-model airframe of this type and age. Ownership under a corporate trustee suggests a preserved registry trail and potential use in managed or fractional operations rather than unscheduled private sale.

The cabin of N519RJ is set in an 8-passenger executive layout (typical for Citation II) providing a conventional light-corporate interior for short- to mid-range business missions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would leverage its approximately 2,000 nm range and 376 kts cruise speed to serve point-to-point business routes within the continental U.S. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines, each rated at 2,500 lbf, support operations up to a service ceiling of 43,000 ft, enabling efficient higher-altitude cruise where applicable. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with older Citation II platforms, where airframe age and component life limits influence inspection cycles and refurbishment needs under corporate trustee ownership.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-cabin twinjet niche, balancing higher cruise speed and altitude capability against operating costs typical of early-generation business jets. Competing models in its era included other light executive jets offering similar seating and range; buyer and charter demand for vintage Citation II airframes often centers on value-conscious operators or those seeking proven reliability with modest acquisition cost. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1980 airframe like N519RJ commonly focus on engine status, avionics upgrades, and corrosion or fatigue inspections, factors that directly inform valuations such as the documented $800,000 price point.
