N550NB

This airframe, registered as N550NB, is a 1981-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0396. The airframe is owned by SKIES THE LIMIT LLC, an LLC based in Raleigh, NC, US, and is registered for operation in the US. Its current market valuation is listed at $725,000, reflecting the airframe's age and the typical lifecycle status of early-1980s light business jets. No other ownership changes or registry actions are provided for this specific airframe in the supplied data.

The cabin configuration for this airframe follows the typical Citation II executive layout, offering a 6–8 place executive club layout with center-club seating common, resulting in comfortable seating for up to 8 passengers in executive transport roles. Operated from its home base in Raleigh, NC, the aircraft is suited for regional and transcontinental missions up to its published range of 1,998 nm, enabling nonstop city-pair flights across much of North America at a cruise speed around 403 kts and operating up to a service ceiling of 43,000 ft. Specific avionics fit, interior finish level, and recent maintenance status are not published in the supplied data; typical considerations for this airframe would include systems upgrades, aging-equipment inspections, and possible refurbishment to meet contemporary charter or owner standards.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a light business jet niche for short- to medium-haul executive transport, characterized by moderate operating costs and straightforward systems relative to newer models. With twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines producing 2,500 lbf each, the type competes historically with similar light jets in terms of speed and range. Given the airframe year of 1981 and the listed value of $725,000, resale and charter demand typically hinges on overall maintenance records, avionics modernization, and interior condition; these are primary factors affecting continued utility and marketability for this specific airframe.
