Spotted this Citation X executing a go-around at Camarillo Airport. According to Cessna, this is currently the fastest civilian aircraft in the world. The first Citation X was delivered in July 1996 to golfer and long-time Cessna customer Arnold Palmer who set a speed record in September 1997: 473 knots (876 km/h) on a 5,000 km closed course. The Cessna Citation X was certified by the FAA at Mach 0.935 (617 mph), officially making it the “world’s fastest civilian aircraft”. First flown in 1993, more than 330 of these have been built. Nikon D500 w/ Tamron 150-600 mm.
