N976JS

N976JS is a 2005 Cessna 750 Citation X (MSN 750-0243) currently registered to YAMO INC of Charlotte, NC. The airframe carries standard Citation X twin‑turbofan configuration powered by AE3007-series engines and is registered in the U.S. with Mode S transponder code AD9AC8. The FAA/registry action recorded a certificate issue on 2023-06-08 and the original airworthiness date is 2005-09-07. Photos and spotting records show the jet operating in U.S. and Caribbean markets during 2021–2022 under a flyExclusive livery; more recent operator activity is shown operating for a Part 135 operator.

N976JS is typically configured for executive transport (8–12 passenger layouts are common on Citation X examples) and is crewed for single‑pilot‑augmented or two‑crew operations depending on mission. The aircraft is optimized for fast point‑to‑point missions: manufacturer and performance references list NBAA/long‑range capability around 3,000–3,500 nm, high‑speed cruise in the mid‑500 ktas range (typical published cruise ~528 ktas) and a service ceiling near 51,000 ft. Engines are AE3007‑series turbofans (single‑engine thrust in the mid‑6,000 lbf range per engine), and the Type Certificate / registration entries list the engine thrust at ~6,442 lbf each. Cabin and avionics for this specific tail are operator‑dependent; available photos show a standard executive exterior finish and spotting records from 2021–2022, but no published interior modification STC record was found for this registration.

The Citation X family was developed as Cessna’s high‑speed, long‑range business jet and was produced from the mid‑1990s through 2012. The type is notable for its high cruise speeds (operating near Mach 0.83–0.91 in typical profiles) and transcontinental range, placing it competitively against other super‑midsize and light large‑cabin types when speed is the priority. Common missions include rapid coast‑to‑coast charters, corporate repositioning and ad‑hoc Part 135 work. The airframe is supported by an active secondary market and retrofit community for interiors and avionics upgrades; market values for mid‑2000s Citation X examples are generally in the low‑to‑mid tens of millions USD depending on total time, maintenance status and interior condition. Photographic and tracking records consulted show N976JS active in U.S. charter/regional operations and documented operator transitions around the 2023 FAA registration action.
