N828BG

This entry covers airframe N828BG, a 1992-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0716. The aircraft was manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US; ownership is recorded under SWEET SEASONS AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Pharr, TX, US. The airframe’s registry reflects its corporate ownership and U.S. registration, with a reported market valuation of $1,500,000. Condition highlights for this specific airframe are reflected in its typical executive outfit and the continued relevance of its original powerplants.

The airframe is configured in a typical 8-place executive layout, consistent with its role as a light corporate transport operated from the owner’s base in Pharr, TX, US. Missions for this Citation II commonly reflect short- to medium-range corporate and charter profiles enabled by a 1,998 nm range and a cruise speed of 399 kts, allowing efficient regional connectivity. Avionics fit is not published here; maintenance considerations concentrate on the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4B engines, each rated at 2,500 lbf, which remain a principal factor in operational costs and dispatch reliability. The aircraft’s U.S. registration and corporate ownership influence inspection and regulatory oversight consistent with U.S. civil aviation requirements.

The Cessna 550 Citation II family occupies the light twinjet business niche, offering higher cruise speed and ceiling compared with piston and turboprop transports while remaining more economical than larger cabin jets. Competing models typically include other light-cabin business jets with similar range and seating; resale and buyer demand are driven by airframe age, engine status, and equipage. For N828BG, the reported valuation of $1,500,000, original 1992 build year, and continued use in an executive 8-place configuration are key factors for prospective buyers and operators assessing maintenance, upgrade, and resale considerations.
