Cessna 501
Manufacturer: Cessna
The Cessna 500 Citation I is a small, straight‑wing business jet that served as the foundation of the Citation family. It was first flown in 1969, certified in 1971, and later upgraded to the Citation I and the single‑pilot 501 Citation I/SP. The aircraft was known for its relatively low cruise speed and easy handling, making it popular with owner‑pilots and small‑airfield operators.
