N73UC

The airframe bearing registration N73UC is a 2006-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign, serial number 680-0086, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). It is owned by Desert Sky LLC, an LLC based in Evansville, IN, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s recorded valuation stands at $5,850,000, and its operational base and ownership have been tied to the Evansville location as reflected in the registration data. No additional registry actions or transfers beyond the listed ownership are published in the supplied data.

The cabin of N73UC is fitted in a typical nine‑passenger executive double‑club layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, supporting executive transport and on-demand charter missions. Avionics for this airframe follow a typical installation of the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, providing integrated flight management, navigation and systems monitoring appropriate for the aircraft’s performance envelope. With a cruise speed of 445 knots and a range of 2,847 nautical miles, typical missions include transcontinental U.S. hops and midsize international sectors from the owner’s Evansville base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the twin PW306C turbofans and their scheduled overhauls, along with avionics support and calendar‑based interior maintenance commensurate with executive cabin equipment.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies the super‑midsize fixed‑wing multi‑engine business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds, a transcontinental range and a service ceiling of 47,000 feet. In the marketplace it appeals to corporate owners and charter operators seeking a nine‑seat executive layout with a forward galley and aft lavatory and modern avionics such as the Honeywell Primus Epic. Key resale and operational considerations for this model include the lifecycle and overhaul costs of the PW306C engines, avionics upgrade paths, and market valuation trends — here represented by the listed price of $5,850,000 for this specific airframe.
