N70TS

The airframe bearing tail number N70TS is a 1975-built Cessna 500 Citation I, serial number 500-0281, completed by Cessna Aircraft Company (now Textron Aviation). The airframe is recorded as owned by Cypress Aircraft Sales LLC, an LLC based in Clermont, FL, US, which is the most recent operator/registrant on file. Registered in the United States, the airframe’s documented valuation is $380,000, reflecting its condition and market standing for late-model Citation I examples. No additional historic ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond the current ownership record.

This specific Cessna 500 Citation I is configured for an eight-seat cabin layout consistent with the model’s typical executive commuter role; photographic or equipment-specific cabin details are not published. The aircraft’s mission profile, given its 1,328 nm range and 352 kts cruise, is well suited to short- to medium-haul corporate and charter sectors, operating from its home base in Clermont, FL, US under its LLC owner. Avionics fit and interior refurbishment history for this airframe are not published; maintenance considerations align with the JT15D-1 turbofan powerplants and airframe age, which commonly require attention to engine time, corrosion inspection, and updated avionics for contemporary operations.

The Cessna 500 Citation I family occupies a light business jet niche characterized by economical operation and access to shorter runways compared with larger jets. Powered in this example by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-1 engines, the model competes historically with early Learjet and Dassault Falcon light jets for owner-operators and small charter companies. Given the airframe’s 1975 build year and a documented value of $380,000, typical buyer considerations include overhaul status, avionics upgrades, and the availability of parts and qualified maintenance for older Citation airframes when evaluating resale or continued operation.
