N826RT

The airframe bearing registration N826RT is a Cessna 551 Citation II/SP built in 1981 with serial number 551-0056. Manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation), this specific aircraft is owned by HUNTER RESOURCES LLC of Bossier City, LA, US, operated under a United States registry (US). The airframe's recorded valuation is $900,000, and no notable registry actions or major incident history have been published for this tail number. The aircraft is categorized as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet and presents as a late-production Citation II/SP example in corporate configuration.

The cabin of this airframe follows the model-typical executive arrangement with Typical 7–8 passenger executive club seating (model-typical), configured to seat 8 in an executive club layout that supports short- to mid-range corporate missions. Typical operations for this airframe include point-to-point business travel within the aircraft’s approximately 2,000 nm range and at cruise speeds near 355 kts, often from the owner/operator base in Bossier City, LA, US. Avionics fit and specific interior finish level for N826RT are not published beyond the standard model configuration; maintenance considerations align with Pratt & Whitney JT15D-4 engine support and aging-airframe inspections common to early-1980s Citations. Routine inspections, component life limits and corrosion control are principal maintenance drivers for continued operation.

The Cessna 551 Citation II/SP occupies a performance niche as a light-to-mid-size corporate jet that blends moderate transcontinental range, modest acquisition cost, and efficient JT15D turbofan powerplants. Competing models in the same era include light jets with similar seating and range, and buyer demand for well-maintained examples centers on cost-conscious operators seeking efficient eight-seat executive transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1981 airframe focus on engine overhauls, avionics modernization, and structural fatigue management; the listed valuation of $900,000 reflects market factors for early-1980s Citations with typical systems and interiors.
