About the Cessna Citation II

The Cessna Citation II is a light business jet produced from 1978 to 1994 — a stretched, more powerful development of the original Citation I. Seating up to ten, it is powered by twin Pratt and Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines, cruises around 400 knots, and offers a range of roughly 1,900 nautical miles. One of the most-produced business jets in history, the Citation II is valued for its low operating cost and forgiving handling, and in the Citation II/SP variant for single-pilot certification — long making it one of the most accessible entry points into jet ownership.

Produced 1978–1996. Total produced: 1,160.
