N53DD Being Parted Out

Crews have begun parting out Resort Air's Cessna 550 Citation, N53DD (msn 550-0711), in the ramp area adjacent to Magnum Helicopters. This C550 was involved in a ground collision with a Cessna C208B in Alleyway 5 a couple of years ago, where the Caravan's propellor blades cut into a portion of the nose section on the port side. Initially, there was sheet aluminum covering the damage to the nose area where the prop blades made impact. It was stored at the Resort Air hangar, then eventually moved to the parking area adjacent to Magnum Helicopters.

Resort Air has since replaced N53DD with a Falcon 50EX, N313TT (msn 297), leased from Top Air Texas LLC [Glendale, CA].
