Challenger 300 vs. G200

[Ty Webb]

All I have seen with boots is the junk from Isreal.

I have not had to use boots on the G100/G200 myself. But there have been instances where the use of boots on a Westwind during climb HAS taken out an engine.

Hmmmmm . . . . . Kindly provide a link to any report of a Westwind losing an engine by using the boots. I would sure like to see that.

I must admit to being somewhat skeptical of your knowledge of the aircraft, though, since you seem to be unable to even spell the name of the aircraft's manufacturer correctly. And it wasn't a typo- you did it in both of your posts.

It's "Israeli" not "Isreali".

What's up, Dawg? Are you down wif dat?

And speaking of "down wif dat", any 135 operator who actually follows the AOM (or AFM if you prefer) would realize the humungous benefit of boots over heated wings when blasting off from mountainous airports in icing conditions in the winter. Who cares if they look different? So does choosing between leaving pax or bags behind, or violating regs.

HAve a nice day.

Anyone bragging about the performance "benefits" of operating a Westwind ANYWHERE is truly showing what all thier experience is in.....a Westwind...The slug has its benefits (its cheap) but its performance is downright miserable.

And as far as having something against the G200 wing. I do. Its garbage. It was maxed out on an Astra and was simply slapped on the much larger "Galaxy"..It still has the same problems. Ever look at the VREF with slat/flap failures? Ever HAVE these slat/flap failures? I have..

But hey, whatever you fly that pays the bills, great.... but anyone who chooses to buy one over a Falcon (or anything else) is bound to be very disappointed.

Just an opinion!

and TY, thanks for da spellin lesonn... hows Alabamer treatin ya'll?

Hmmm, I wouldn't agree wif dat. I flew the mighty WW for 1300 hours or so, and really enjoyed it. A company I used to fly for had a WW and a Falcon 20, and the WW could beat the Falcon on any trip where we sent both airplanes. . . .

I've flown Westwinds into Telluride, Aspen, you name it . . . . . it ain't that bad, dogg.
