N845JS

This entry covers airframe N845JS, a 2001-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with serial number 560-5180. The airframe is registered in the United States under corporate ownership by THESE PRETZELS ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY LLC, a corporation based in Kinston, NC, US. The aircraft’s registry reflects a corporate operator/home base linkage in Kinston, and the airframe’s condition is represented in valuation records at $2,668,783. No other publicly noted ownership transfers or major registry actions are provided beyond the current corporate ownership and registration details.

The cabin is described as a typical executive layout, with centre-club seating and common corporate configurations in the 8–10 place range, while registry notes report up to 13 seats capacity for this specific airframe; the current entry lists 13 seats. Avionics fit for the model is typically the Honeywell Primus 1000, consistent with many 560XL examples and supporting advanced navigation and systems management for corporate missions. Operational profiles for this airframe are those typical of the midsize light business jet segment: short- to medium-haul executive transport, owner-flown or operator-crewed charters, and business connectivity between regional hubs—missions well supported by the airframe’s 1,847 nm range and 429 kt cruise. Maintenance considerations follow manufacturer and Pratt & Whitney Canada schedules for the PW545 fleet, with corporate ownership implying organized maintenance tracking.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light/midsize business jet niche, offering turbofan performance suited to regional corporate missions and airfields with moderate runway length. Competing models in its era addressed similar buyer demand for cabin comfort, runway flexibility, and operating economy. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2001 airframe reflect typical age-related factors balanced against the continued support for PW545 engines and the commonality of the Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite, with valuation here recorded at $2,668,783.
