N656PS

This airframe, registered as N656PS, is a 1978-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0009. The jet is registered to California Oregon Broadcasting Inc (a corporation based in Medford, OR, US) and is operated from that locale as its apparent home base. No separate public record of significant registry actions or ownership transfers is published for this airframe. The example is valued at $900,000, reflecting an older airframe in the light-medium business jet category.

The cabin is fitted in a typical 7–8 passenger executive club layout with a forward refreshment/galley and a belted aft lavatory, consistent with corporate transport and short- to medium-range missions. Avionics fit for this specific airframe is not published. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include regional point-to-point corporate transport, day trips up to the published range, and charter-like operations centered on the owner’s base in Medford, OR. Maintenance considerations for an airframe of this vintage would focus on age-related systems work and engine maintenance cycles for the two JT15D-4 powerplants; specific maintenance history for this serial is not published.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering transregional range, modest cruise speed, and a small executive cabin suitable for 7–8 passengers. With a cruise of 403 kts and a maximum practical range near 1,998 nm, it competes historically with other late-1970s to 1980s light business jets in used markets. Demand among owner-operators and corporate fleets tends to be driven by acquisition price, operating cost, and availability of component support; at a reported value of $900,000, resale and charter appeal will hinge on maintenance status and avionics upgrades. Routine maintenance, component lifing and potential avionics modernization are primary resale considerations for aircraft of this vintage.
