N8EB

The airframe bearing registration N8EB is a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1981 with serial number 550-0280. It is manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is currently owned by WOODBINE AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Lewes, DE, US; the ownership is recorded on the US registry under registration US. The airframe’s documented market valuation is $700,000, reflecting its age and configuration in the light business jet sector. Acquisition by WOODBINE AVIATION LLC is the most recent notable ownership event in the available record.

The specific cabin layout for this airframe is an eight-seat executive configuration consistent with the Citation II’s typical interior arrangement, supporting small-group corporate transport and owner-flown missions. Avionics fit is not published in the supplied data; however the airframe’s range of 1,998 nm and cruise speed of 384 kts position it for trans-regional flights and efficient point-to-point charters from its operator base in Lewes, DE, US. Given the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines delivering 2,500 lbf each, maintenance considerations include jet-age component support and adherence to established inspection cycles for Pratt & Whitney JT15D-powered airframes. The documented valuation of $700,000 suggests notable cumulative flight hours or refurbishment needs relative to newer fleet members.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a long-standing niche as a light-to-midsize business jet offering moderate range, reliable JT15D turbofan powerplants, and relatively low operating complexity. Competing models in its vintage class include early Learjet 31/35 variants and older Hawker and Falcon derivatives, with buyer demand often driven by price-conscious buyers seeking capable short- to medium-range jets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on engine overhaul status, airframe corrosion inspections, avionics modernization needs, and overall logbook completeness, factors reflected in the listed value of $700,000.
