Model & Market Context
This entry describes airframe N90AS, a factory-built Cessna 650 Citation III constructed in 1986 with serial number 650-0112. The jet is registered in the US and is held by owner VS AIR LLC, an Atlanta, GA–based limited liability company that appears as the current registrant and operator/home base in public records. The airframe is configured in an executive layout typical for its serial and carries an assessed market value of $1,100,000. Registered to a Georgia LLC and operated from Atlanta, the airframe’s valuation and age reflect its mature position in the secondary market and the ongoing maintenance demands of late-model Citation IIIs.
The subject airframe carries an executive 12-seat cabin layout consistent with the serial’s typical outfitting, enabling small-group corporate missions and executive charter work. Avionics fit is not separately published in the data provided, but the airframe’s performance—longer range and high cruise speed—supports transcontinental and offshore routes within North American operations from its Atlanta base. Operator maintenance considerations for this jet include managing two Garrett TFE731 turbofan engines and supporting high-altitude systems for a certified ceiling of 51,000 ft. The aircraft’s configuration and owner/operator profile indicate it is primarily used for corporate transport, on-demand charter, or owner-operated executive missions.
The Cessna 650 Citation III family occupies the heavy end of the light-to-midsize business-jet spectrum for its era, offering higher cruise speeds and cabin capacity than many contemporaries while remaining more compact than larger-cabin jets. Competing models historically include late-model light heavyjets from manufacturers such as Dassault Falcon 10/20 derivatives and older Gulfstream light-cabin types; buyer demand favors well-maintained airframes with updated avionics and engine programs. Given the aircraft’s 1986 build year, resale and operational considerations center on engine time, avionics modernization, and adherence to maintenance programs to sustain value around the reported $1,100,000.
