RADAR ESTIMATE
What N16TS 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 N16TS's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N16TS
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This airframe, registered as N16TS, is a 1978-built Cessna 550 Citation II with serial number 550-0030. It is owned by Cypress Aircraft Sales LLC (an LLC based in Clermont, FL, US), a change recorded in U.S. registry summaries and reflected in current operator listings. The aircraft is registered in the US and is reported in registry summaries with an 8-seat capacity, consistent with its executive interior configuration.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin for this specific airframe is configured in an executive arrangement typically accommodating six to eight passengers, with registry summaries reporting an 8-seat capacity for this ship. Operated from Clermont, Florida under ownership of Cypress Aircraft Sales LLC, the Citation II's performance, including a 1,900 nm range and 384 kt cruise, supports medium-range business missions such as trans-regional flights across the continental United States and island hops in the Caribbean from a Florida base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 1978 manufacture date and twin JT15D-4 turbofan powerplants, with operator maintenance programs generally emphasizing aging-airframe inspections, engine overhauls and avionics upgrades to maintain regulatory compliance and operational reliability. Cabin amenities and specific avionics fit for this tail number are recorded in operator logs rather than in public registry summaries.
Model & Market Context
The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a long-established light to mid-size business jet niche, offering a balance of speed, range and single-pilot capability relative to its era. Competing models historically include other light jets from the same generation; buyers today typically consider acquisition, charter demand and lifecycle maintenance costs when evaluating late-1970s airframes. Resale and maintenance economics for this serial number reflect its age, the availability and cost of JT15D-4 support, and market appetite for refurbished executive cabins and avionics upgrades.
