Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N904SJ is a 1989-built Cessna 550 Citation II, constructor serial number 5500604. It is currently owned by A&M AVIATION LLC of Irondale, AL, US, and is registered in the United States. Publicly available records indicate the airframe is associated with that single limited liability company as operator/home base in Alabama; prior owners or transfers are not published in the supplied data. Valuation data attached to the registry lists a market value of $750,000, while specific condition, maintenance status, and recent major inspections are not provided.

This specific Cessna 550 Citation II is fitted in a typical executive configuration accommodating 6–8 passengers in a club seating arrangement with a forward galley and an aft belted lavatory, while acknowledging that configurations can vary by operator. Operated from the owner's base in Irondale, AL, the airframe is suited to short- to medium-haul executive transport and charter missions within its 1,998 nm range and high-speed cruise of 369 knots. Avionics details for this individual airframe are not published in the supplied data; routine operation would emphasize jet performance and systems common to late-1980s Citation IIs. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engine schedules and Citation II airframe service bulletins, though specific logbook entries and recent maintenance actions are not provided.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-corporate jet niche, offering transcontinental regional capability with a relatively high cruise speed and a service ceiling of 43,000 ft. Competing models historically include contemporaries from Learjet and Hawker Beechcraft that target similar eight-seat executive missions. Demand for late-1980s Citation IIs on the pre-owned market tends to reflect engine and avionics condition, inspection status, and total time; with a listed value of $750,000, resale considerations for N904SJ will hinge on paperwork, refurbishment needs, and compliance with airworthiness directives.
