N550WJ

This article concerns airframe N550WJ, a 1972-built Cessna 550 Citation II bearing serial number 550-0352. The airframe is registered in the United States and is held by CSC Delaware Trust Co Trustee, a corporate owner based in Wilmington, DE, US; this ownership establishes a custodial, corporate-title arrangement rather than an individual operator. The airframe’s valuation in current data is listed at $922,375, and registry information identifies it as a US-registered Citation II with an eight-place executive cabin standard to the type. Any further operational operator history, lease arrangements, or recent registry transactions are not published in the supplied data.

The airframe is outfitted with an 8-place executive layout, the standard cabin configuration for Citation II examples; this supports typical light business jet missions such as short- to medium-haul executive transport and on-demand charter legs within the aircraft’s range. Specific avionics fit, in-cabin entertainment or interior refurbishment status, and detailed maintenance records are not published in the provided data; therefore, equipment and systems particulars remain unspecified. Based from the owner’s recorded location in Wilmington, DE, the aircraft’s operator or base of operations is not definitively stated, so typical mission profiles are inferred from the model’s capabilities rather than documented operator schedules. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would reflect the Citation II lineage, including JT15D engine support and legacy airframe systems common to early-1970s production examples.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light midsize business jet niche, offering moderate transregional range and efficient cruise for its era; this example’s 1,998 nm range and 376 kts cruise reflect that role. Competing types historically include other light-cabin business jets of the 1970s–1990s vintage; buyer and charter demand for such airframes is influenced by age, maintenance status, and interior configuration—factors not fully disclosed for this airframe. Resale and maintenance considerations for N550WJ derive from its 1972 build year and legacy systems, informing market valuation (listed at $922,375) and potential operator investment in avionics upgrades or interior refurbishment to meet contemporary operational standards.
