N817SH

This article describes airframe N817SH, a 1995-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra with serial number 560-0318. The jet is registered in the US and is owned by Silverhawk Aviation, Inc., a corporate owner based in Lincoln / Omaha, NE, US. The listing for this specific airframe notes a market valuation of $1,716,910, and its registry and operational records reflect corporate operation from the Nebraska home base. Ownership by Silverhawk Aviation, Inc. constitutes the principal documented change in operational stewardship for this airframe.

The cabin of N817SH is fitted in the typical Citation Ultra configuration with 7–8 passenger executive club seating, a forward galley/refreshment area, and an enclosed aft lavatory; a belted lav seat is listed as optional. Avionics for this airframe are consistent with the Ultra fit, typically a Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS installation. Operated from the owner’s Nebraska base, the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-range corporate missions within its 1,710 nm range and high-speed cruise of 430 kts, supporting point-to-point executive transport and charter operations. Maintenance considerations center on twin JT15D-5D turbofan support and typical executive interior upkeep for continued charter or owner-use availability.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies a light-cabin, fixed-wing multi-engine niche focused on high cruise speeds and moderate transcontinental range for executive travel. With twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D engines and a 45,000 ft ceiling, the model competes in markets demanding fast climb and cruise performance with efficient short-field capability. Buyer and charter demand for specific airframes such as N817SH is influenced by overall condition, avionics fit like the Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS, and the airframe’s valuation of $1,716,910, which factors into resale and maintenance planning for corporate operators.
