N551DA

The airframe bearing tail number N551DA is a 1978-built example of the Cessna 550 Citation II, carrying serial number 550-0025. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by AEROTRUST SERVICES CORP TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US. The limited public record for this specific airframe identifies the corporate ownership and registration jurisdiction but does not disclose recent operator changes or a published market valuation. Any prior ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond the current trustee record are not published in the supplied data.

This airframe is typically outfitted in an eight-place executive configuration with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, although the interior can vary depending on subsequent refits. The cabin layout supports short- to mid-range corporate transport and charter missions consistent with the Citation II’s original role, with seating for a pilot crew plus up to eight passengers in executive trim. Avionics, entertainment, and specific interior finishes are not specified and commonly reflect owner-initiated upgrades or refurbishments over the operational lifetime of a 1978-model airframe. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft follow Citation II program practices, including paired JT15D-4 engine support and typical aging-airframe inspections associated with late-1970s production airframes.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-medium business jet niche and, with cruise speeds near 335 kts and a practical range around 1,800 nm, serves regional corporate and charter markets effectively. Competing models in the era and subsequent years included other light-cabin jets offering similar mission capability; buyer demand tends to favor airframes with updated avionics and well-documented maintenance records. For a 1978 serial like 550-0025, resale and operational economics hinge on engine cycle history, avionics modernization, and interior condition resulting from any owner-directed refits.
