U.S. Customs Retires Last of Its Cessna Citation 550s
The Cessna Citation 550, the only jet aircraft ever operated by the U.S. CBP, reaches the end of the line after more than four decades of service.
With the retirement of the last of its Cessna Citation C-550s, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has ended its more than four decades of jet operations. 24 of the factory-modified Citation IIs were delivered to the agency's Air and Marine Operations unit, while an additional four airframes were later modified. The four remaining C-550 Interceptors will be sold off by the end of the year.
