Description
With only 2,907 hours and 1,909 landings since new, N189C is an exceptionally low-time Citation Bravo. Delivered in November 2003, the aircraft remained with its original owner until 2020 and retains many original factory delivery documents and Fly-Away Kit items. Additional highlights include fuel-efficient Pratt & Whitney PW530A engines, an eight-passenger interior, trailing-link landing gear, a secondary cabin-door seal, and updated exterior paint completed in 2021. Its low time, two-owner history and excellent provenance make N189C a compelling Bravo opportunity.
