N716DD

The airframe bearing tail number N716DD is a 1986-built Cessna S550 Citation S/II with serial number S550-0120. The certificate and registration identify the current owner as S2 AIR LLC, a Las Vegas, Nevada limited liability company, which operates the aircraft from that home base in the United States. The airframe’s documentation reflects standard commercial registry actions for a U.S.-registered business operator and a market valuation shown at $831,459, indicative of its age and configuration. Maintenance and condition summaries specific to this unit are recorded under the U.S. registration and align with typical mid-1980s Citation S/II examples in active service.

The airframe is configured with eight passenger seats, consistent with light-cabin executive transport roles common to the S/II series; cabin layout for N716DD supports short to mid-range business missions and air taxi work. Avionics fit for this specific tail number are not published here, but mission profiles for the type typically include cross-country corporate travel between regional hubs, leveraging the aircraft’s near-2,000 nm range and high cruise speed. Based in Las Vegas, NV, the operator focuses operations within the western U.S. and transcontinental sectors enabled by the airframe’s 43,000 ft ceiling and efficient twin-JT15D powerplant maintenance cycles. Maintenance considerations reflect the age of the airframe and the need for JT15D-specific shop visits and component life-cycle tracking.

The Cessna S550 Citation S/II occupies the light twin-jet niche with a balance of speed, range and operating economics that appealed to owner-operators and charter companies in the 1980s and beyond. Competing models historically include early Learjet variants and comparable light Citations; buyer demand for airframes like N716DD centers on cost-conscious operators seeking proven systems and lower acquisition prices reflected in the listed value. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize available JT15D spares, calendar-driven inspections for a 1986 airframe, and avionics retrofits to maintain charter or corporate certification standards.
