N6HF

This article describes airframe N6HF, a 1980-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0260. The airframe is owned by Western Community College Area, a government entity based in Scottsbluff, NE, US, and is registered in the US. There are no publicly reported changes of ownership beyond its current government ownership, and registry information indicates an on‑roster status with an assessed market value of $900,000. Condition highlights are limited to valuation; detailed maintenance records and recent restoration status are not published.

The airframe is typically configured in a standard executive club arrangement accommodating seven to eight passengers with a forward refreshment center; a belted aft lavatory is a possible fit, although the exact interior installation for N6HF has not been publicly specified. Operational use under Western Community College Area is consistent with institutional and governmental transport roles originating from Scottsbluff, Nebraska; typical mission profiles for this airframe class include short- to medium‑range executive transport and personnel movement within a roughly 1,900 nm range and cruise speeds near 360 kts. Avionics and specific in‑service equipment for N6HF are not published. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin JT15D‑4 turbine configuration and age‑related sustainment needs for a 1980 airframe, but no itemized maintenance history is available in public records.

The Cessna 550 Citation II airframe represented by N6HF occupies a mid‑sized light business jet niche with transcontinental short‑range capability, a service ceiling to 43,000 ft, and cruise performance in the high 300‑knot range. Competing types in its era and resale market typically include other light-cabin jets offering similar range and speed; demand from government and educational operators often emphasizes reliability and operating cost. The assessed value of $900,000 reflects market depreciation and the economic considerations for maintenance, avionics upgrades, and parts support typical for early 1980s Citation IIs.
