N97AL

This airframe, tail number N97AL, is a 1988-built Cessna 650 Citation III with serial number 650-0155. The airframe is recorded as being owned by WBJ Aviation LLC, a corporate owner based in Jackson, GA, US, and is US-registered. No notable registry actions published are recorded for this specific serial in the supplied data. The aircraft is valued at $1,000,000, a figure that reflects its status as an older, well-established long-range business jet rather than an entry from a current-production line.

The subject airframe typically carries a standard eight-place executive interior: a forward galley, mid-cabin club seating, and an aft lavatory, though the exact layout may vary by interior refit. Avionics are commonly fitted with a Honeywell SPZ-650 or Collins Pro Line II suite in this configuration, with the possibility of later upgrades depending on owner investment. Operated under WBJ Aviation LLC from Jackson, Georgia, the aircraft is suited to medium- to long-range executive transport and can support transcontinental or regional cross-country missions within its 2,348 nm range and high-altitude cruise capability. Maintenance and interior updates for this airframe would be expected to follow corporate owner practices for executive-configured Citation IIIs, with attention to aging systems and avionics obsolescence typical of late‑1980s manufacture.

The Cessna 650 Citation III occupies a performance niche among late‑1980s large-cabin business jets, offering high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling for efficient, long-range point-to-point travel. Competing types from the same era include other long-range business jets that emphasize speed and altitude capability; demand for a well-maintained Citation III often comes from cost-conscious buyers or charter operators seeking proven performance at lower acquisition prices. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on certified engine and avionics status, interior condition, and any avionics upgrades from the typical Honeywell SPZ-650/Collins Pro Line II fit to contemporary standards.
