N550CG

This entry documents airframe N550CG, a 1991-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0677. The aircraft is registered in the US and is held by CSC DELAWARE TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate owner located in Wilmington, DE, US, reflecting a trust-based ownership structure rather than individual private ownership. The airframe has been used in Coulson operations as a guide and air-attack transport, and specific valuation or detailed condition reports for this registration are not published in the supplied data.

The cabin for this airframe is configured in the typical six–eight place executive layout, and for Coulson use it has been employed as a 7–8 pax guide/air-attack transport. While specific avionics fits are not listed in the provided data, the airframe’s operational profile—moderate transcontinental range with a high cruise speed—supports short- to mid-range executive transport and mission support roles. Maintenance and operational considerations for this individual aircraft are governed by corporate trust ownership and its application in aerial firefighting support operations, which can impose heightened inspection and mission-readiness cycles compared with pure executive use.

The Cessna 550 Citation II family occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering a combination of efficient turbofan propulsion and short-field capability suited to corporate and special-mission operators. With a cruise near 403 kts and a ceiling of 43,000 ft, the model competes with contemporaries in the late 1980s–1990s light-jet segment; resale and maintenance considerations typically hinge on engine time, avionics upgrades, and mission-specific installations. For trust-owned airframes like N550CG, marketability can be influenced by documented usage (here, Coulson air-attack support) and completeness of maintenance records.
