N795JK

This airframe, N795JK, is a 1978-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0027. The airframe is recorded as owned by N90TR LLC, an LLC based in Paso Robles, CA, US, and carries a United States registration (US). The airframe’s build year and serial place it among early-production Citation II examples, and listings report an estimated market value of $995,000. Registered to an LLC in Paso Robles, the aircraft has been marketed in corporate ownership/charter configurations on available listings.

The cabin on this airframe is described in listings as an executive nine-place corporate layout, reported as a 3-place belted couch, 2 opposing individual seats, and an aft four-place club arrangement; overall capacity is listed as 8 seats for typical executive operations. Avionics reported for this specific aircraft include a Garmin GTN-725Xi navigator paired with Collins communications/DME equipment and a Sperry SPZ500 autopilot on available listings. Typical mission profiles for this Citation II example would emphasize short to medium international trips within its 1,900 nm range and high-speed cruise at about 384 kts, operating from the owner/operator base in Paso Robles for business travel or light charter. Maintenance considerations align with older Citation IIs of late-1970s manufacture, with airframe age and systems retrofits such as the GTN-725Xi and autopilot noted in listing data.

The Cessna 550 Citation II family occupies a light twinjet corporate niche offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes than turboprops while remaining economical in acquisition compared with newer midsize jets. Competing types historically include other light-cabin business jets powered by JT15D-series engines; buyer demand for late-1970s Citation IIs typically targets owner-operators, small charter companies, and buyers seeking lower acquisition cost with proven systems. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the aircraft’s age, serial position (550-0027), and the value reported ($995,000), with avionics retrofits and engine program status being primary factors affecting marketability.
