Citation Goes wide body

[XTW]

727 isn't bad but i still bang my head on occasion.

The L1011 is the roomiest I've encountered. No worries about the 'head-bang' thing. Seating for 5 and standing room for at least 3 more. Let's Party!:nuts:

They had it in the NJA hanger at CMH after Paris. Not worried about it though, I will be able to hold Capt in it around 2050.

And interestingly, I just heard that's when the first Hawker Horizon/4000/whatever will start line ops with NJA pilots in the cockpit...

Lets hope Cessna raises the bar on "Quality Control" at the assembly line, instead of "Damage Control" at the MX center.

Another Lockheed product has seating for six (6!) [pilot, copilot, observer, navigator-formerly, FE, 2nd FE/scanner] plus mosh-pit room, and that's just the forward flight deck. The rest of the winnebago has seats for 15, the forward john, two three-bunk rest areas, closet and a nice card table for stealing the crew chief's poker stash.

Yes the mighty C-5 Galaxy. But I still hit my head on the overhead aerial refueling plumbing.:crying:

Maybe we will see the widebody Cessna before the Hawker 4000.

Of course we will. Cessna has already produced the parts for it. They just need to mix and match from the different airframes, and VOLA, insta-jet!

Dude...you're giving me flashbacks. Miss the old girl. It is the biggest cockpit though....

Cessna "Columbus" :laugh:

 

[be-400xpdriver]

So, what aircraft types would this new Cessna compete with? CL300/604/G200/G350? I am sure the pilots at Citationshares will be happy to get their hands on them...

I dont think CS will be getting any.
There is a reason it is named the Citation Columbus and not the Citation Greenwich

Diss to the Norgwegians...

The follow up model will be the Leif Erickson.

Well, it's a big-cabin bird that will go 4000 nm.

If you're looking at those two tid-bits it competes in range to a Falcon 900DX and a 2000LX.

It's dead-nuts between the range profiles of a G350 and G450.

It's also a dead-heat against the CL605 (604 discontinued).

However, I suspect the Challenger has the edge in cabin width...but that's about it!

HOWEVER, IMO, if Cessna intends to compete with the Falcons or the Gulfstreams, it's going to have to cost WAY LESS MONEY. Gulfstream and Falcon can get a premium, and no one is going to pay that for a Cessna product.

I suspect it will be very easy for Cessna to grab the CL-605 buyers just from the standpoint that those buyers can $hit-can Bombardier support, and I would expect the Cessna to compete or even beat the CL605 pricing.

$27 million. Not sure how that compares.

NewmanF16...what's up brother? Don't suppose you made it down to PBI last week for the Textron GLM did you? We took a trip for y'all last year and ol' Jack personally came down and thanked us for it.. I was impressed by that.

 

[NewmanF16]

No, I was flying reserves last week. I'm continually impressed by Jack.

That number wont get near the Falcons or G's. The CL I'm not sure...but that bird could be a seller at that price point.
