N821JS

The airframe bearing registration N821JS is a 1998 Cessna Citation Excel (model Cessna 560XL Citation Excel) built as serial number 560-5008 by the Cessna Aircraft Company (now Textron Aviation). The registry shows the aircraft registered to TRIPLE RED LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, Delaware, United States, reflecting its corporate ownership and likely private or on-demand use. The airframe carries a typical Honeywell-equipped Excel-era avionics fit and is noted in registry records as a U.S.-registered transport-capable airframe with an assessed market value of $2,750,000. Maintenance condition and recent maintenance events are not published in the supplied data.

This specific Excel is configured commonly with a typical 7–8 passenger executive cabin in a club seating arrangement, although registry entries list 13 seats, indicating the airframe retains a transport-capable seating certification or can be reconfigured for higher-capacity missions. Avionics for the Excel series are typically the Honeywell Primus 1000, consistent with the model and era, supporting business executive navigation and approach capabilities. Based on its ownership by TRIPLE RED LLC in Wilmington, DE, the aircraft is likely operated for private corporate transport, charter operations, or flexible corporate itineraries on regional to transcontinental missions within its 1,657 nm range. Specific onboard amenities and recent maintenance records for this serial number are not published in the supplied data.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel family occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort and runway performance with cruise speeds around 422 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competitors in its era include other midsize light jets that target owner-operators and charter companies; the PW545 engines produce about 3,952 lbf each, contributing to the type’s performance profile. With a listed value of $2,750,000, resale and acquisition considerations for this 1998 airframe include age-related maintenance, avionics commonality with other Excels, and the potential value implications of its transport-capable 13-seat registry.
