Description
Valor proudly presents this 1985 Cessna Citation III — Serial Number 650-0094. A milestone in midsize jet design, the Citation III (Model 650) marked Cessna’s first clean-sheet, swept-wing business twinjet. Departing from its straight-wing predecessors, the Citation I and II, this aircraft introduced a supercritical swept wing, T-tail configuration, and twin Honeywell TFE731 turbofan engines, each delivering 3,650 pounds of thrust and cruise speeds exceeding 450 knots.
The stand-up cabin seats six in standard layout, with optional high-density seating for up to nine. It includes a fully enclosed lavatory and a 60-cubic-foot electrically heated baggage compartment with external access.
Avionics include a VII-Cockpit with enhanced Honeywell SPZ-8000 and Garmin suite with dual FMS, dual GTX transponders (ADS-B), GDL-89 Link, GMX-200 display, and TCAS.
Refurbished in 2016, the interior offers a modern, comfortable environment. The exterior was also repainted in 2016, maintaining a sleek, contemporary look.
