1985 Cessna CITATION SII

The Cessna Citation SII (S/II) is a light business jet produced from 1985 to 1997, an upgraded version of the Citation II featuring more powerful Pratt and Whitney Canada JT15D-4B engines and a redesigned wing. Seating up to 10 passengers, the Citation SII cruises at 404 knots with a range of 2,000 nautical miles, offering solid light jet performance for regional and coast-to-coast business travel. With a maximum takeoff weight of 15,100 lbs and fuel burn of approximately 135 gallons per hour, the Citation SII delivers efficient light jet economics. The straight-wing design provides excellent short-field performance and low-speed handling, allowing the SII to access smaller airports that swept-wing jets cannot use. The Citation SII appeals to owner-operators, small businesses, and charter companies seeking an affordable entry into jet ownership with proven reliability. Its, gentle handling characteristics, and low acquisition costs on the pre-owned market make it a practical choice for operators who fly 200 to 400 hours per year. The large Citation fleet worldwide ensures strong parts availability, experienced maintenance shops, and comprehensive support from Cessna service centers.
