RADAR ESTIMATE

What N168ES is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation II on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N168ES's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N168ES

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This entry covers airframe N168ES, a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1992 with serial number 550-0706. The airframe is manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to Next Generation Aviation LLC, an LLC based in Beloit, WI, US, which is the operator/home base indicated in available records.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin for N168ES is configured in an executive seven-passenger layout with provisions for 2 crew, and includes a belted lavatory aft and birdseye maple cabinetry as noted in the interior description. The avionics fit for this airframe includes a Honeywell EDZ-605 EFIS (2-tube) and Honeywell ED-600 MFD, supplemented by a Garmin 625 FMS, Honeywell Primus 650 weather radar, and a Collins communications/navigation suite, supporting typical business missions and regional point-to-point operations. Based from Beloit, Wisconsin under Next Generation Aviation LLC, the aircraft’s speced range and cruise speed enable transcontinental and near-offshore missions within the light-medium business jet category. The executive finish and avionics package point toward operator emphasis on passenger comfort and avionics capability; maintenance considerations are aligned with the Pratt & Whitney JT15D series and Honeywell/Collins avionics common in legacy Citation IIs.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering IFR-capable performance and relatively low operating costs for its class. With a 1,900 nm range, 384 kt cruise and a 43,000 ft ceiling, it competes with contemporary light-cabin jets while appealing to buyers seeking proven airframes and simpler systems.
