N70KB

This entry covers airframe N70KB, a 1982-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0417. The aircraft is registered in the US and is presently owned by CHECKERBOARD AVIATION LLC of Bluffton, SC, US, which appears as the current registrant on file. There are no additional public notations of accidents or major registry actions in the supplied data; the airframe is presented with an estimated market value of $1,300,000. The listing reflects a typical light-business-jet history for a single airframe of this vintage and model.

The cabin for N70KB is configured in an 8-passenger executive layout; specific fit details are unknown. Avionics fit and recent interior refurbishment records are not published in the supplied dataset, so operational equipment and passenger amenity specifics cannot be confirmed here. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type and configuration would align with short- to medium-range executive transport within the stated 1,900 nm range and cruise at approximately 369 kts, operating from its owner-operator base in Bluffton, SC, US. Maintenance considerations for this particular jet include routine support for its twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 turbofans and aging-airframe inspections consistent with a 1982 build.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering moderate range and high cruise speed relative to earlier light jets of its era. Competing models historically include other late-1970s and 1980s light-cabin jets that balance operating cost with executive utility. Buyer and charter demand for a 1982 airframe like N70KB typically weighs heavily on maintenance status, avionics modernization, and interior condition; these factors materially influence resale value and operational availability. Given the supplied valuation of $1,300,000, prospective buyers would prioritize thorough records review, engine shop visits, and platform-specific inspection items tied to the JT15D-4 engines and airframe age.
