Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N551GF, a Cessna 551 Citation II/SP built in 1981 with serial number 551-0039. The aircraft is owned by J M MALONE & SON INC, a corporate registry based in Carlisle, AR, and is registered in the US. There are no additional publicized changes in operator lineage or registry actions beyond the corporate ownership, and the airframe carries an indicated market value of $796,103 in current records.
The airframe is configured in the typical seven- to eight-place executive layout associated with the single‑pilot certified II/SP variant, providing a standard business-cabin arrangement for short- to medium-haul missions. The operator is a corporate entity based in Carlisle, AR, which suggests usage patterns consistent with owner-operated business transport and corporate travel within the continental U.S. Specific avionics fit and interior furnishing details are not published for this individual airframe. Maintenance considerations align with the Citation II/SP platform and its twin JT15D-4 engines, and routine inspection and component-life items would be expected to reflect the aircraft’s 1981 build year and accumulated utilization; no unique amenities or modifications are documented in the available data.
The Cessna 551 Citation II/SP sits in the light business-jet segment, offering transcontinental capability within the cited 2,000 nm range and a typical cruise of 384 kts, with a service ceiling to 43,000 ft. Its twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines were common to the class and provide straightforward performance and maintenance profiles for corporate operators. Competing models in the same era and mission profile emphasize similar single-pilot executive configurations; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect age, installed equipment, and the documented market value of $796,103.
