RADAR ESTIMATE

What N18VF is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation Excel on its own yet, so this borrows the Cessna Citation XLS+ curve, scales it to N18VF's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N18VF

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

Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N18VF is a 2003-built Cessna 560XL Citation Excel with manufacturer serial 560-5322, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is owned by Griffco Air LLC, an LLC based in Kennesaw, GA, US, and is registered in the US.

Operations & Cabin

This airframe is commonly configured in a typical executive layout and for this specific airframe accommodates up to 13 seats in arrangements such as 2 cockpit seats, a four-club seating section, two forward-facing seats and an optional belted lavatory. Operated from its owner’s base in Kennesaw, GA, US, missions for the airframe would typically include short- to medium-range corporate and charter trips within the aircraft’s 1,847 nm range and at cruise speeds around 420 kts, taking advantage of its midsize cabin and executive seating. Avionics fit and specific interior finish for this serial are standard for the model year unless otherwise modified; maintenance considerations follow Pratt & Whitney PW545 engine support and midsize-citation maintenance intervals associated with the airframe’s 2003 build year.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel family occupies the midsize, fixed-wing multi-engine executive transport niche, combining cabin comfort with transcontinental short-range capability reflected in this airframe’s 1,847 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models typically include other light-to-midsize business jets offering similar cruise speeds near 420 kts and seating for up to a dozen passengers; market demand historically centers on corporate owners and charter operators valuing the Excel’s blend of operating economics and cabin utility.
