Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N696VP, is a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1991 with serial number 550-0696. It is currently registered to JDH AIR LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, Delaware (US). The airframe record indicates single-entity ownership under that Delaware LLC; there are no additional publicly supplied registry actions or sales events in the data provided. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied dataset.
The aircraft is typically outfitted in an executive six–eight place layout, configured for executive seating and short- to mid-range business missions. With a cruise speed of 403 kts and a maximum range near 1,998 nm, this airframe is suited to intercity point-to-point travel and corporate transport missions rather than long-haul operations. Based on the registered owner information, the operator/home base activity is centered on Wilmington, Delaware, and operations would commonly include northeast U.S. city pairs and regional hops. No specific avionics fit or bespoke cabin amenities are provided in the dataset; standard maintenance considerations for a 1991 Citation II include airframe and engine inspections consistent with Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 service bulletins and calendar-based life-limited component tracking.
The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-corporate jet niche with improved range and payload over its Citation I predecessor, offering transcontinental capability for many U.S. city pairs at higher cruise speeds and a service ceiling of 43,000 ft. Competing models in its era and market segment include the Learjet 31/35 series and early Falcon 10 configurations, with buyer demand focused on cost-efficient short-to-medium stage lengths and flexible airport performance. Given its 1991 build year and twin JT15D-4 engines producing 2,500 lbf each, maintenance and resale considerations typically emphasize engine program status, avionics refresh needs, and adherence to manufacturer service bulletins when assessing marketability.
