N550MJ

The airframe bearing tail number N550MJ is a 1981-built Cessna 550 Citation II, constructor serial 550-0215. This specific airframe is owned by MIDWEST JET LLC, an LLC based in Lynd, MN, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft’s documented condition and market valuation place it at $750,000, reflecting factors typical of early-1980s Citation IIs with mature maintenance histories. Currently operated by MIDWEST JET LLC from Lynd, Minnesota, the airframe represents a long-serving airframe in the light business-jet sector.

The aircraft carries a typical 6-8 place executive layout cabin, configured for executive transport with seating for eight in its current interior arrangement. Avionics fit and detailed equipment lists are not published in the record provided; operational use is therefore characterized by typical light-cabin Citation II missions such as regional business trips and on-demand charter legs within the aircraft’s 1,998 nm range. Based at Lynd, MN, and operated by MIDWEST JET LLC, the airframe is suitable for short to mid-range point-to-point flights, often serving Midwest corporate or charter requirements. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe will follow Citation II airframe and JT15D-4 engine programs, with condition and value influenced by records of inspections, component exchanges, and any ownership or registration transactions recorded by the operator.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a performance niche as a light, mid-performance business jet with transregional capability and efficient cruise speeds around 403 kts and a maximum certified ceiling of 43,000 ft. Competing models historically include earlier light-cabin jets and light-cabin derivatives from similar eras; buyer and charter demand tends to favor aircraft with robust maintenance logs and avionics upgrades. Resale and maintenance economics for this specific airframe—serial 550-0215, tail N550MJ—are informed by its age, engine type (JT15D-4), and the documented valuation of $750,000, which signals market positioning among well-maintained legacy Citation IIs.
