N55BH

The airframe bearing tail number N55BH is a 1984-built Cessna 650 Citation III with serial number 650-0041. The aircraft is listed on the U.S. registry (US) and is recorded as owned by TOP FLIGHT LLC, a corporation based in Gilbert, WV, US. The airframe’s ownership history as available shows TOP FLIGHT LLC as the current proprietor; no additional prior owner entries are provided in the supplied data. Valuation and condition notes for this specific airframe indicate a market value of $1,100,000, reflecting its age and configuration.

This specific Citation III airframe is configured to accommodate 12 occupants, consistent with typical executive or small-group transport layouts for the model. Detailed information on the exact cabin interior finish, seating arrangement, or avionics fit for this serial is not published in the supplied data. Operational use for this airframe would be aligned with typical fixed-wing multi-engine missions for the type—medium-range corporate transport and charter operations—operating from the owner’s base in Gilbert, WV, US or from regional airports capable of supporting jet operations. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would focus on age-dependent inspections and engine lifecycle items for the two Garrett TFE731 powerplants; specific maintenance records for this serial are not provided.

The Cessna 650 Citation III occupies a mid-to-large light business jet niche characterized by high-altitude capability (service ceiling 51,000 ft), transcontinental short-to-medium range capability (2,038 nm), and relatively high cruise speeds (423 kts) for its era. Powered by two Garrett TFE731 series turbofans producing 3,650 lbf each, the model appeals to buyers seeking higher cruise performance and cabin capacity up to a dozen seats. Given the airframe’s 1984 manufacture year and the stated valuation of $1,100,000, resale and maintenance considerations typically center on engine life, avionics upgrades, and structural fatigue inspections when evaluating continued utility or placement in charter service.
