N64LV

The airframe bearing tail number N64LV is a Cessna 560 Citation Ultra built in 1996, serial 560-0345. It is registered in the United States and is owned by DITCH DIGGERS AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Lisle, IL, US, which serves as the aircraft's current operator/home base. Acquired by DITCH DIGGERS AVIATION LLC (ownership reflected in the current registry), the airframe is recorded with an estimated market value of $1,600,000, indicating its position in the pre-owned business jet segment and serving as a condition/valuation highlight for this specific airframe.

The cabin of this Cessna 560 Citation Ultra is fitted in a typical executive arrangement for the model, accommodating an 8–9 passenger executive layout with center club seating, a forward two-place divan, a belted lavatory and a forward galley. Avionics for this airframe combine the baseline Honeywell Primus 1000 (3-tube) suite with modernized navigation and audio upgrades: Garmin GTN-750/650 units, Honeywell TCAS I collision avoidance, Honeywell Primus 650 weather radar, and Garmin transponders. Typical operations for this aircraft profile are short- to medium-range executive transport missions within the airframe’s 1,960 nm range and at cruise speeds near 430 kts, operating from its owner/operator base in Lisle, IL, US.

As a member of the Cessna 560 Citation Ultra family manufactured by Cessna, this airframe couples twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-1 engines (each rated at 2,200 lbf) with performance figures including a 45,000 ft ceiling, 430 kts cruise and 1,960 nm range. Those characteristics define its performance niche within fixed-wing multi-engine executive jets of its era and inform buyer and charter demand for aircraft offering regional intercity range and high-altitude capability. The recorded market value of $1,600,000 for this specific airframe reflects contemporary resale considerations for a mid-1990s Citation Ultra with the listed avionics and cabin configuration.
