N726HA

This entry covers airframe N726HA, a production Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1980 with serial number 550-0206. The airframe is owned by AEROJET USA LLC, an LLC based in Knox, IN, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. Acquisition by AEROJET USA LLC represents the most recent documented change in stewardship for this airframe; registry records and condition summaries indicate a market valuation of $900,000 reflecting its age and configuration.

The Citation II airframe N726HA is configured for an eight-seat executive layout typical of the model, prioritizing short- to medium-haul business missions and owner/operator flights. Specifics on the installed avionics suite and interior finish for this airframe are not published; standard Citation II interiors typically include a forward club seating arrangement with belted lavatory or aft refreshment area depending on the original delivery option. Based at Knox, IN, US under operation by AEROJET USA LLC, typical mission profiles for this airframe include point-to-point business travel within continental ranges approaching its published 1,998 nm, and operations to medium-altitude airports enabled by its 43,000 ft ceiling and cruise capability of 399 kts. Maintenance considerations follow legacy Citation II practices, with attention to aging-airframe inspections and engine hot-section/FADEC-era component overhauls for the JT15D-4 powerplants.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-cabin business jet segment, offering higher cruise speeds and range than early Citation models while retaining straightforward systems and operating economics attractive to small companies and owner-operators. Competitors historically include light jets such as the Learjet 31/35 series and early Beechjet 400 variants; resale demand is typically driven by airframe condition, avionics upgrades, and engine times. For N726HA, a listed value of $900,000 reflects market sensitivity to year (1980), serial-series maintenance status, and the prevalence of avionics/modernization costs when considering operation or charter use.
