The airframe bearing tail number N550ZS is a 1980-built Cessna 550 Citation II, serial number 550-0279. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by LH JET AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania, US; this entity appears as the current operator/owner on the registry. The jet is a fixed-wing multi-engine business aircraft that, based on registry data, carries a reported market valuation of $1,100,000. No additional public registry events or prior ownerships are published in the provided data set beyond the recorded ownership and registration details.

The airframe is configured in an 8-place executive layout typical of the Citation II family; the exact cabin configuration for this specific registry entry is not published beyond that standard layout. Typical operations for an aircraft of this configuration and performance envelope would include short- to medium-range corporate transport, on-demand charter flights, and owner/operator business travel originating from its operator base in Honey Brook, PA. Avionics fit and specific interior furnishings are not detailed in the supplied data, so unique amenities or modifications for N550ZS are not published; maintenance considerations align with twin-engine turbofan oversight appropriate to Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-series powerplants and citation-class airframes.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a light-medium business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and cabin capability than earliest light jets while remaining economical compared to larger midsize types. With a cruise of 375 kts and a max practical range near 1,970 nm, it competes historically with models such as early Learjet and Hawker variants for owner-piloted and charter markets. The recorded valuation of $1,100,000 reflects the airframe’s age and market for Citation I/II-series jets, where maintenance history, avionics upgrades, and engine life significantly influence resale demand and operating economics.
