Unfortunately the dang sticker/painted window cost $600...LOL. It does make it a little less ugly though..

WHAT !!! that is a fake 4th window....NOW that is funny!

Lets put some fake dual main tires next and fake trailing link gear.

Yep, they will go very well with the Lear 45's fake APU. LOL.

No offense taken, just having a little fun as well. We looked hard at used 45's, but that market has gone nuts on post SN# 100 airplanes that are low time.

After 8 years in the Beechjets we were ready to try something new.

A pilot I know flew a brand new one. They gave it back to the factory recently. It broke all the time. Even had a hydraulic failure (at 50 hours) which is big trouble in that thing if you don't have a very long runway. He flew it single pilot after flying a 400a. He hated it. He said the avionics would just do things at the most inappropriate times, without pilot input, making single pilot even more difficult. He'd explain what happened to the engineers, they would say. yeah we know about that and don't know why it does that. Final opinion from my friend... He'd rather have a Beechjet.

Huh, I think I've flown with that guy...hell, I think he's our check airman. Let me guess, he's an old timer who thinks gps is less reliable than vor's, thinks analog gauges make more sense, fadec's are a waste of money, FMS's make people stupid, still files every airway and intersection on flight plans...blah blah blah.

Just jokin, but seriously, is he comfortable with new technology? I can't count how many times I've answered the PF's question of "What the hell is it doing?" with "Exactly what you told it to do".

No, he knows how to use FMS's. In fact he is now a Flight Safety Instructor. But, I have flown with that guy you mentioned above. Maybe not the exact same guy, but the same guy.
