[QUOTE="empenage, post: 3998, member: 126"] DesertFalcon: I'm a captain on a Gulfstream 4 right now. It's a very automated Biz Jet with a 4,400 nm range. I've been really lucky and have operated it all over the world for various companies. It takes getting used to because it's so automated. I just got back from Maui non-stop to NY the other day and its hard not to dose off! A cheap type cant hurt if you have the cash. Training is never a waste of money. Get the directory and find out who has what type of aircraft in your area. Then approach the operaters and tell them what you have in mind and see what reaction you get. Be very visable. Be very friendly. Show them you are willing to work. I really like the Challengers. The 604 is a sweet machine. It has decent range and a really big cockpit. I had the most fun in an old Citation S/II flying up and down the east coast. I'd rather be flying down the east coast than plodding through Africa in the G4. All the Biz Jets I have flown are easy to fly. The hardest aircraft I have had to fly are the light twins, jets are easy. Ive had some bad luck along the way. Dont let it get you down. I drove onto the field one time and watched the Navajo I was flying bank gently over the airport. It really looked great in flight! Took me several minutes to realize that I wasnt in it! Who the hell was flying my ship! The owner sent it to a broker just before he went chapter 11. Never told me a thing. I was on a trip in a brand new Challenger and while waiting for passengers in Dallas was told to take the airplane to a maintenance field and drop it off because it was sold! I didnt even know it was for sale!! Good luck Guy. [/QUOTE]
