About this aircraft
The Citation Mustang was Cessna's first very light jet—and an early adopter of a full Garmin glass cockpit in the VLJ class.
It opened jet ownership to pilots stepping up from high-performance pistons and turboprops. The later M2 took its place in the new-aircraft lineup, but Mustangs remain active in training, owner-flown, and light charter roles.
Best for short hops where jet speed matters and cabin size can stay compact.
