Textron Aviation Citation Mustang
The Citation Mustang was Cessna's answer to the very-light-jet boom, an all-new six-seat design with Garmin G1000 avionics and PW615F engines that entered service in 2006. Nearly 480 were built through 2017, and it remains one of the most affordable and reliable jets for owner-pilots making the transition from turboprops.
In short: The Textron Aviation Citation Mustang is a Very Light Jet with a range of 1,150 nm, a cruise speed of 340 knots and room for 4 passengers. Pre-owned examples trade around $1.9M–$3M and costs roughly $950 an hour to operate (estimate).
