N83NW

The airframe bearing tail number N83NW is a 1976-built Cessna 500 Citation I, serial 500-0309, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by BAS PART SALES LLC, an LLC based in Greeley, CO, US, which serves as its operator and home base. The airframe’s configuration and typical executive-fit conversion history are reflected in its documented 8-place cabin layout. The airframe is valued at $424,000, a figure that highlights age and market position relative to newer business jets.

The aircraft is outfitted in a typical 8-place executive cabin layout; single club or forward seating is common on Citation I conversions and is consistent with this airframe’s described configuration. Avionics fit is not published in the provided data, but missions for this airframe are typically short- to medium-range executive transport runs consistent with a 1,326 nm range and 352 kt cruise. Based in Greeley, CO, the owner/operator BAS PART SALES LLC would likely employ the jet for business transport and parts-related operations; registration to a parts-focused LLC may reflect specialized maintenance or spares sourcing activity. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe must account for vintage systems and JT15D-1 engine support.

The Cessna 500 Citation I occupies the light business-jet niche for early-generation fanjet twins, offering moderate cruise speed and range for owner-operators and charter brokers seeking economical short-haul capability. With a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and twin JT15D-1 engines producing 2,200 lbf each, it competes historically with other light jets of the 1970s and 1980s. Market demand for this specific serial and vintage tends toward owners valuing lower acquisition cost and common-parts support, while resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine overhaul status, avionics upgrades, and the airframe’s overall condition relative to its $424,000 valuation.
