N597AF

This entry covers airframe N597AF, a 1995-built Cessna 650 Citation VII with serial number 650-7057 manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by MOONDREAM 5 LLC of Cypress, TX, US, which serves as its primary operator/home base for registry purposes. The aircraft’s registration and ownership history reflects private LLC ownership rather than individual or corporate airline operation, and current market valuation for the airframe is listed at $1,800,000, indicating a mature airframe in the pre-owned business jet market.

The cabin of this Cessna 650 Citation VII typically reflects a standard executive layout with flexible seating; the type is reported in 6–12 pax configurations and the individual airframe fit for N597AF may vary accordingly. As registered to an LLC based in Cypress, Texas, the aircraft is most likely employed on private corporate or owner-operated missions consistent with its range and cruise performance, supporting transcontinental U.S. trips and short international hops from the Gulf Coast. Avionics and interior fit are not specified for this individual airframe and therefore can differ from factory or refit standards; maintenance considerations follow typical Citation VII practices for mid-1990s airframes, including age-related systems inspections and engine program enrollment as applicable.

The Cessna 650 Citation VII occupies a performance niche as a long-range light-medium business jet with high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling, appealing to buyers seeking fast point-to-point travel without stepping into large-cabin jets. Competing models during its market epoch include later-model light-medium twins offering similar speed-range tradeoffs; demand on the pre-owned market tends to be selective, favoring well-maintained, lower-time examples. For N597AF, resale and maintenance considerations center on airframe age (1995), engine TFE731 series support, and the condition reflected by its estimated value of $1,800,000.
