U.S. Customs and Border Protection Cessna Citation's

With the recent rash of aviation articles related to the unwarranted detention and searching of USA general aviation pilots, it interesting to see what type of equipment they are going to run you down in.

One of the cornerstones of the CBP/DHS aviation wing is their fleet of ten Cessna Citation II's. Make that nine since one was destroyed by a deer in November 2012

Interestingly they have all been re-registered to the US Department of Homeland Security since United States Custom Service was rolled into Homeland Security in 2003
