Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N680AK, is a 2009-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with manufacturer serial number 680-0283. The airframe is recorded as owned by Mid Oaks Investments LLC, an LLC based in Buffalo Grove, IL, US, and is US-registered. Built by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation Inc.), this specific Sovereign is representative of late-2000s production examples and retains the common executive configuration associated with the type. Publicly available registry details for maintenance history, recent valuation, and any notable transfers beyond the named owner are not published here.
The cabin of this airframe is laid out in a typical nine-passenger executive configuration featuring club seating, a forward galley and an aft lavatory, reflecting the common 9-place configuration for the model. Avionics are fitted with the Honeywell Primus EPIC suite as typical for the Cessna 680 Sovereign, with the caveat that many later refinements and retrofit options exist for individual airframes. Operationally the aircraft’s 2,820 nm range and high cruise speed support transcontinental U.S. missions and short international hops from a base in the Midwest; routine uses would include executive transport and on-demand charter sectors consistent with owner-operated or managed business-jet activity. Maintenance considerations align with twin PW306C engine support and Textron/Cessna service network practices for the Sovereign fleet.
The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and pressurization performance to 47,000 ft while maintaining lower runway performance requirements than larger-cabin types. Competitors historically include other midsize jets offering similar speed and range; buyer and charter demand generally favors well-equipped, low-hour airframes with current avionics and interior trends. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2009 serial revolve around PW306C engine time, avionics refresh choices (including upgrades to later EPIC standards), and the condition of the nine-place executive interior.
