N8JW

The airframe bearing tail number N8JW is a 2002-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel, serial number 560-5305. It is registered in the United States and is owned by WATKINS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LLC, an LLC based in Corsicana, Texas, which serves as the operator/home base for the type. Registry and listing information for this specific MSN has noted a reported avionics retrofit option and cabin service features; condition assessments and specific equipment fitment should be confirmed with the owner or maintenance records. Market valuations for this airframe place its estimated value at $3,590,000, reflecting its model year and equipment notes.

This airframe is configured with a typical executive cabin layout: a forward four-seat club arrangement and aft seating, with listings tied to MSN 560-5305 reporting an externally serviceable lavatory and a forward galley. Avionics listings for this specific serial indicate a Garmin G5000 retrofit option; the presence of a G5000 or alternative avionics suite on the current aircraft should be verified through seller or maintenance documentation. Operationally, the Citation Excel platform and this airframe’s range and cruise performance align it with business missions such as regional and cross-country point-to-point charters, owner-flown corporate transport, and logistical support roles from its Corsicana, Texas base. Maintenance considerations include typical mid-size business jet engine and airframe programs for the PW545-equipped Citation Excel series.

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the mid-size, short-to-medium range executive jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and payload relative to light jets while maintaining lower acquisition and operating costs than larger cabin-class types. Competitors typically include the Learjet 60/70 series and early-generation Gulfstream and Bombardier light-cabin models in used markets. For buyers, this airframe’s 2002 manufacture date, PW545 engines, and reported avionics retrofit option influence maintenance scheduling, avionics upgrade costs, and resale value; the listed $3,590,000 estimate should be reviewed alongside logs and any retrofits or damage history.
