N817BS

This airframe, registered as N817BS, is a Cessna 560XL Citation Excel built in 2000 with serial number 560-5106. The aircraft is owned by RADIO FLYER 2 LLC, an Oklahoma City, Oklahoma–based limited liability company, which is the recorded registrant on the U.S. civil register. The airframe’s documented condition and valuation place it at $3,800,000, reflecting its mid-life status within the Excel fleet and any operator-specific modifications. Notable registry entries concern the ownership by RADIO FLYER 2 LLC in Oklahoma City, OK, US, with no other transfers published in the supplied data.

The cabin is described as a typical executive configuration for the type, noted as a 7–9-place executive layout sequestered within FAA records that list 13 seats, indicating a discrepancy between typical interior fit and registered seating capacity; this suggests flexibility for executive layouts or supplemental seating for ferry/charter operations. Avionics fit is consistent with Excel-series installations, identified as Honeywell Primus-class equipment with the caveat that operator upgrades are possible and may affect capability and resale. Typical mission profiles for this airframe size and range include medium-range executive travel and charter flights within continental U.S. distances up to the listed 1,839 nm, operating from the owner/operator base in Oklahoma City. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin PW545A powerplants and mid-life airframe hours typical of a 2000-build Excel.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies a light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental short‑to‑medium range capability with turbofan reliability and a pressurized executive cabin. Competing models historically include other light-medium jets offering similar cruise speeds and cabin flexibility; buyer and charter demand tends to prioritize interior condition, avionics fit (here Honeywell Primus-class, with potential upgrades), and engine time since the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545A engines drive maintenance economics. Resale considerations for this particular airframe will weigh the registered 13-seat certification, the 2000 build year, and the documented valuation of $3,800,000.
