N79B

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N79B, a 2008-built Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign with serial number 680-0226. The airframe is manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation Inc.) and is registered to WILLIAM BECKER LLC of Missoula, MT, US, operating from that locale as its apparent home base. The airframe carries a US registration and reflects a mid-life business jet in typical executive configuration; current valuation is listed at $5,350,000, indicative of its maintained condition and market position for its model year. No other prior ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond the current LLC registration.

The aircraft is outfitted in a typical 9-passenger executive layout and, as configured for the Sovereign line, presents a cabin optimized for short to mid-long-range corporate missions. Avionics fit follows the Sovereign standard with a Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting advanced flight management, integrated displays and modern navigation/communication capabilities. Operationally the airframe is suited to regional and transcontinental trips within its 2,820 nm range and cruise capability of 446 kts, frequently flown from its Missoula, MT base for owner-operated or managed corporate transport missions. Maintenance considerations align with mid-life PW306C engine care and Sovereign-specific airframe inspections; unique amenities are not published beyond the standard executive fit.

The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign occupies a performance niche between light midsize and super-midsize business jets, offering high single-pilot capability, transcontinental range and a high operating ceiling of 47,000 ft. Competing models typically include other midsize offerings from Gulfstream light/entry and Bombardier Challenger segments, with buyer and charter demand favoring the Sovereign for its runway performance and cabin flexibility. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008 airframe focus on PW306C engine lifecycle management, avionics modernization potential for Honeywell Primus Epic systems, and typical mid-market depreciation reflected in the stated $5,350,000 valuation.
