N7TK

The airframe bearing tail number N7TK is a 1979-built Cessna 501 Citation I/SP, serial 501-0116, recorded in U.S. civil registry. The aircraft is listed as owned by individual MELLON TIMOTHY, based in Saratoga, WY, US, and is operated from that home base according to registry details. The airframe's registry entries indicate continued U.S. registration and an 8-place executive seating capacity as reflected in the registry record. No alternate operators or corporate ownership transfers are documented in the supplied data; the known ownership history is limited to the current individual owner.

The aircraft is configured with an 8-place executive seating layout per registry capacity, indicating an executive/corporate interior intended for point-to-point business missions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its declared cruise speed and range, would be short- to medium-haul executive transport from the Saratoga, WY operating base, although specific routing and utilization are not published in the supplied data. Avionics fit and specific cabin amenities are not provided in the record; maintenance considerations for this individual airframe would follow normal practices for a fixed-wing multi-engine Citation I/SP with re-engining to Williams FJ44-series powerplants as listed. Any notable maintenance events or interior refurbishments are not documented in the provided information.

The Cessna 501 Citation I/SP occupies a light business jet niche characterized by transcontinental light-jet capability within its declared range and cruise performance. Competing models in this performance bracket typically appeal to owner-operators and small charter operators seeking eight-seat executive configurations. Buyer and charter demand considerations for this specific airframe would hinge on its engine installation—Williams FJ44 series at 1,900 lbf each—overall condition, and the continuity of U.S. registry and maintenance records; resale and maintenance implications depend on those detailed logs, which are not included in the provided data.
