N7ZG

This entry documents the airframe bearing U.S. registration N7ZG, a business jet built in 1984 with manufacturer serial number 650-0031. The airframe is a Cessna 650 Citation III manufactured by Cessna and is owned by HHWR WHITETAIL RANCH LLC, an LLC based in Waco, TX, US. It is registered in the United States and its recorded civil registration is US-based; notable registry entries reflect its continued corporate ownership rather than individual or commercial airline operation. The aircraft carries an estimated market value of $964,000, which reflects its specific age and configuration among like-model airframes.

The airframe is configured to accommodate 12 seats, consistent with typical corporate interior layouts for the Citation III; specific cabin furnishings and avionics fit are not published beyond seating capacity. Operated from the owner's base in Waco, TX, US, the aircraft’s long-range capability of 2,348 nm and high cruise speed of 423 kts support interstate and transregional flights typical of owner-operated business missions. With a certified ceiling of 51,000 ft, operations are suited to high-altitude cruise profiles that reduce en route weather exposure and enable efficient long-distance routing. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on its twin Garrett TFE731 turbofan engines and airframe age, factors that influence inspection cycles and aftermarket support.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna 650 Citation III family, a midsize business jet category that emphasizes high cruise speed and long-range capability for its generation. In the market, this model competes with other late-20th-century midsize corporate jets where buyers balance performance against age-related maintenance and refurbishment needs; the recorded value of $964,000 situates this individual airframe within the secondary market for older but capable Citation IIIs. Typical buyer and charter demand for such airframes is influenced by engine support for the Garrett TFE731 series, airframe hours, and avionics modernization requirements. Resale and ownership considerations for this aircraft include continued engine program enrollment, structural inspections, and potential cabin refurbishment to meet contemporary charter or corporate expectations.
