Cessna 500 Citation I   N900GC      (c/n  500-0298)

                                     

                                           Developed as Cessna's answer to the D.H.125, Learjet, Sabreliner and Falcon 20, the Citation
                                           first flew on 19 September 1969.  The design wasn't fine tuned, however, until 1972 when cust-
                                           omer deliveries began.   I did not have a decent shot of a Citation I myself, so resorted to the vast
                                           collection of Bob Garrard to present this image taken at San Diego in September of 1989.  Owner
                                           was the Granite Construction Company out of  Watsonville, California.
