N52LT

The airframe bearing tail number N52LT is a 1982-built example of the Cessna 550 Citation II, serial 550-0355, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is owned by WOODBINE AVIATION LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation based in Lewes, DE, US, and is registered in the US. Notable registry attributes for this specific airframe include its early-1980s production vintage and the corporate ownership structure; its market valuation is listed at $800,000, reflecting condition and residual-market factors typical of the model and era.

This airframe is typically outfitted in an executive cabin configured for a 7-8 passenger layout (typical for Citation II), providing a standard corporate/business interior suitable for short- to medium-haul executive missions. Specific avionics fit for N52LT is Not published; however, Citation II examples of this vintage commonly serve point-to-point regional transport, business travel, and on-demand charter work within continental ranges. Based in Lewes, DE, US by corporate ownership, operator missions would typically involve coastal and northeastern corridor operations; maintenance considerations emphasize aging-airframe systems and engine inspections for the JT15D-4 powerplants.

The Cessna 550 Citation II family occupies the light to lower-midsize business jet niche, offering modest transcontinental capability with a cruise near 403 kts and a service ceiling of 43,000 ft. Competing types historically include light jets with similar capacity and range; buyers and charter operators prize the Citation II for its straightforward systems and familiar handling but account for elevated maintenance and avionics upgrade costs on early-1980s airframes. Given the listed value of $800,000 for this serial, resale and acquisition considerations focus on total time, maintenance history, and the cost of bringing older avionics and interiors up to contemporary standards.
