Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N550WR, is a 1983-built Cessna 550 Citation II with constructor serial number 550-0482. It is recorded in the United States registry under ownership of N550WR LLC, an LLC based in Lawton, OK; the company is the documented owner and primary operator/home base connection in public registry entries. The airframe is listed with an executive seating disposition and is recorded on the registry with eight seats, reflecting its fitted cabin layout. Available records do not indicate changes of type certificate or major airframe conversion events beyond standard certification as a Citation II.

The airframe carries a typical 6–8 place executive cabin arrangement, and the registry explicitly records 8 seats; this positions the interior for executive transport, light corporate operations, or small-group charter missions. While specific avionics fitment for this tail number is not published in the supplied data, the Citation II platform commonly supports mixed analog and retrofit digital flightdeck options, making mission equipment variable by owner. Typical operations for this aircraft would include short to mid-range corporate point-to-point missions within its nearly 2,000 nm range and cruise speeds near 399 knots, with base operations conducted from Lawton, Oklahoma as reflected by owner location. Maintenance considerations align with older Citation II airframes—component life-cycle management, engine hot-section inspections on the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 powerplants, and adherence to Cessna service bulletins.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light to midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental versatility for its model class with a maximum certified ceiling of 43,000 ft and a near-2,000 nm ferry range. Competing types historically include early Learjet 35/36 variants and the Beechjet 400 series; buyers and charter operators seeking this airframe value its combination of speed and operating economics for small-group missions. For resale and maintenance, the airframe’s 1983 build year and legacy systems imply attention to lifecycle overhaul items and avionics modernization when assessing market demand and valuation.
