1978 Cessna Citation IIJet Aircraft

This 1978 Cessna Citation II (N780CF, serial 5500014) presents a compelling opportunity as one of the most competitively priced examples on the market, having just completed a fresh Phase 1–5 inspection. With 9,038 total airframe hours, it features Pratt & Whitney JT15D-4 engines showing 2,454 SMOH (673 SHSI HT blades) and 2,926 SMOH (1,159 SHSI HT blades) respectively, both well below their 3,500-hour TBO. The aircraft benefits from the desirable Branson Gross Weight Increase Mod and is enrolled in the Bacon LUMP program, offering significant maintenance cost advantages for low-utilization operators.

Avionics highlights include ADS-B IN & OUT compliance via Garmin GTX-335R/345R transponders, a Garmin GPS-500, dual Collins VHF-20A radios with 8.33 kHz spacing, and a Sperry SPZ-500 integrated flight control system. The executive-configured interior (refreshed in 2011) seats seven with tan leather, brown carpet, forward galley, and aft lavatory. Externally, the jet wears a 2013 Matterhorn White paint scheme with Ruby Red stripes and features RVSM certification, thrust reversers, and wing-tip recognition lights. With Phase 1B-4B inspections complete and 5A due April 2025, this Citation II is turnkey for its next owner.
