N102DR1982 Cessna Citation II/SP

Overview

This airframe, registered as N102DR, is a 1982-built Cessna 551 Citation II/SP (IISP) with serial number 551-0436. The aircraft is owned by Cloud 9 LLC, an LLC based in Lafayette, LA, US, and is registered in the US. No additional historic registry actions are published beyond its current ownership and US registration.

Operations & Cabin

The subject airframe is fitted with an 8-place executive layout typical of owner/operator executive interiors for this model, providing a compact cabin environment suited to short- to medium-haul corporate missions. Avionics on comparable, modernized IISP airframes commonly include dual Collins ProLine or equivalent suites with RVSM capability, TAWS-B and ADS-B compatibility, though specific retrofits vary by airframe and are applied on a case-by-case basis. With a maximum cruise near 384 kts and a mission range of roughly 2,000 nm, typical operations would encompass regional point-to-point business travel and owner-operated shuttles from its base in Lafayette, LA, US. Maintenance considerations for this individual jet align with airframe age and engine type, with systems updates and avionics retrofits commonly affecting dispatch reliability and market value.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 551 Citation II/SP (IISP) occupies a light to lower-medium business jet performance niche, combining transcontinental-lite range with a relatively high service ceiling of 43,000 ft. Demand among owner/operators favors the IISP for its payload-range balance and economical twin JT15D powerplants, while resale and maintenance considerations are shaped by vintage airframe age, avionics modernization status, and cumulative engine/airframe hours.
