Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing registration N5WC is a Cessna 560 Citation Ultra built in 1997 with serial number 560-0403. The aircraft is owned by MIDSTAR TRANSPORT LLC, an LLC based in Midland, TX, US, and is registered in the US. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published for this airframe in the provided data. Valuation notes indicate a current market value of $2,585,000, reflecting its age and configuration.

This specific airframe is configured for up to 11 seats, consistent with utilization as a small corporate or charter transport. Cabin layout and detailed avionics fit are not published in the supplied data, but typical operations for this airframe would leverage its stated cruise speed of 430 kts and range of 1,960 nm for medium-haul point-to-point missions from its base in Midland, TX, US. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D engines dictate routine twin-engine maintenance cycles and inspections that inform operational availability. Operator MIDSTAR TRANSPORT LLC is listed as the owner and home-base operator, suggesting local maintenance and operation out of Midland, Texas.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra airframe represented by N5WC occupies a performance niche defined by a 430 kt cruise, near-2,000 nm mission capability, and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, making it suitable for business transport and regional charter roles. With a build year of 1997 and a reported value of $2,585,000, resale considerations for this airframe will reflect age-related maintenance, engine cycles on the JT15D-5D units, and market demand for 11-seat fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. Buyers and operators referencing this data will weigh remaining operational life and valuation against required maintenance and upgrade investments.
