N910TK

The airframe bearing tail number N910TK is a 1995-built Cessna 560 Citation Ultra, serial number 560-0288, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). It is owned by individual THOMPSON NATHAN of Boulder, CO, US and is registered in the US; the current registry shows the aircraft operating from that home base under private ownership. Acquired and maintained by the named individual owner, the airframe reflects a mature mid-1990s Citation Ultra example with typical life-cycle considerations for avionics and maintenance. Current market valuation for this specific airframe is listed at $1,794,035, a figure that highlights its position as an aging but capable light business jet subject to standard inspection and refurbishment cycles.

The cabin of this Citation Ultra is fitted in a typical executive layout for the model, featuring a forward 2-place divan, mid-cabin club seating, and an aft belted lavatory commonly yielding a 7–9 passenger executive fit while accommodating up to 11 seats in other configurations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to mid-range executive trips within the continental United States and transcontinental legs up to its 1,960 nm range at cruise speeds near 430 kts. As a privately owned aircraft based in Boulder, CO, operations are likely centered on owner-directed travel and ad hoc charter under owner approval, with maintenance considerations focused on JT15D-5D engine support and calendar/landing-cycle-driven inspections. Standard cabin amenity expectations for this airframe would include executive seating, basic galley provisions, and options for communications upgrades if retrofitted.

The Cessna 560 Citation Ultra occupies the light business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability than many older light jets while maintaining relatively economical operating costs for its class. Competitors include other light-cabin jets of the mid-1990s and early 2000s, where buyers weigh cabin comfort, range of 1,960 nm, and dispatch reliability. Demand in resale and owner markets favors well-documented maintenance records and avionics refreshes; consequently, the listed value of $1,794,035 for this specific serial reflects both age-related depreciation and the aircraft’s ongoing utility for owner-operated missions. Maintenance considerations for prospective buyers or operators center on overhauls and parts availability for the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5D powerplants and structural/avionics upgrade paths.
