N104R1999 Cessna Citation X

Overview

The airframe bearing registration N104R is a 1999-built Cessna 750 Citation X, serial number 750-0095, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). It is owned by the Delaware corporation Air Play LLC, located in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries United States registration. Operator-configured cabin and registry entries indicate a 12-seat certification while typical operator fit is reduced for charter comfort.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is typically fitted in an operator-configured cabin, described as an 8-passenger double-club layout in operational use while retaining a registry certification for 12 seats. Avionics are listed as Honeywell Primus 2000, with the note that many Citation X airframes are upgraded to Primus Elite on resale, which informs expected retrofit considerations for this airframe. Typical mission profiles for this configuration and performance envelope include transcontinental and long overwater charter sectors enabled by a 3,460 nm range and high cruise speed. Maintenance and operational planning for this aircraft reflects the Citation X’s high-performance turbofan engines and certification to 51,000 ft, with owner/operator base recorded in Wilmington, DE, US.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 750 Citation X occupies a high-speed, long-range business-jet niche among fixed-wing multi-engine types, offering a cruise near 520 kts and transcontinental capability. Competing models in the segment balance speed, range, and cabin comfort; resale appeal often depends on avionics modernisation such as upgrading from Honeywell Primus 2000 to Primus Elite.
