Model & Market Context
This airframe, bearing tail number N818DE, is a 1987-built Cessna Citation III (Model 650) with serial 650-0121. It is registered in the United States and is owned by MT GILEAD FULL GOSPEL INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES INC, a corporate owner based in North Chesterfield, VA. The aircraft retains an executive certificate layout listing 12 seats, and its most recent value assessment for this airframe is $964,000. Registry details note the U.S. registration and the certificate seating configuration; no other public registry actions are recorded in the provided data.
The cabin is configured in an executive/12-passenger layout as listed on the aircraft certificate, supporting corporate transport and group missions up to a dozen occupants. With a cruise speed of 423 kts and a maximum practical range of 2,038 nm, this airframe is suited for medium- to long-range executive missions, point-to-point business travel, and charter assignments within the continental U.S. and nearby international destinations. Operated under corporate ownership in North Chesterfield, VA, maintenance and operational planning for the airframe would reflect typical requirements for twin Garrett TFE731-powered Citations, including engine lifecycle and avionics upkeep consistent with a 1987-built airframe.
The Cessna Citation III (Model 650) occupies the late-1980s light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering high cruise performance and a 51,000 ft service ceiling relative to earlier small-cabin types. Competing models in this era and market segment include other late-vintage midsize Citations and rival light-medium business jets, where prospective buyers weigh operating costs, refurbishment needs, and parts availability for Garrett TFE731-equipped airframes. Given the airframe’s age, resale and maintenance considerations hinge on completed upgrades, maintenance history, and completion condition, factors that materially affect the reported $964,000 valuation.
