N89GA

The airframe bearing tail number N89GA is a 1980-built Cessna 550 Citation II, constructor serial 550-0122, recorded in US registry and owned by WNO TRUST SERVICES LLC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US. This specific airframe's documentation identifies it as a typical late-model Citation II example with corporate trust ownership; ownership recorded to the trustee corporation is the primary notable registry action indicated. With an assessed market value of $700,000, the airframe reflects the economic position of mature light jets of its vintage and the maintenance/resale considerations inherent to a 1980 production aircraft.

The cabin is described in the documentation as a typical 6–8 passenger executive layout, with common configurations including double-club or 4-place club seating and frequent fitment of a forward refreshment/galley and an aft belted lavatory. Documented avionics and upgrade fitments for this airframe type include JetTech Garmin packages such as dual G700 TXi primary flight displays and GTN NAV/COM units, GWX-75 weather radar, and GTX transponders with ADS-B Out, though installation variation exists by airframe and is noted for this model series. Operational use for this specific aircraft is consistent with short- to medium-range corporate transport and owner/operator missions within the aircraft’s 1,998 nm range and 403 kt cruise capability; maintenance planning would reflect the twin JT15D-4 engine architecture and the age-related inspections typical for a 1980-built airframe.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-cabin, twin-engine corporate jet niche, offering transcontinental short-haul capability at cruise speeds near 403 kts and service ceilings up to 43,000 ft. Competing models historically have included other light jets offering similar range and seating capacities; buyer demand for airframes from 1980 depends heavily on refurbishment, avionics upgrades, and engine program status. For this airframe, the assessed value of $700,000 and documented avionics STC options reflect common market considerations: the cost of bringing systems and interiors to current standards, ongoing maintenance of older JT15D-4 engines, and resale prospects tied to configuration and upkeep.
