The CJ3 trues at around 420, right? That's still a Citation.

OK change the above to read "550's,560's, and 525's!

Below 10k every one is the same, even the props.

Encore's aren't bad performers, as are most 560's. 560's are about 100 knots faster than old 500's and 501's. 560's also will outclimb a lot of jets out there, if you fly the book you can get to the mid 40's in around 25 minutes. Realistically taking 8 pax at 420 knots for 4 1/2 hours at FL410, and landing on a 3500' runway, is pretty impressive. Having said that there's no way to get around that .74M is a high altitude speed bump.

I think being a capt in any turbine (or "light twin") at 24 is great.... I don't care what kind of plane it is.

Unless you're a passenger.

Hmmmmmm, I never seemed to have any complaints about my performance when I was an ATR Captain at the age of 24. Well, I did have some people leave the aircraft a few times stating I was way too young to be piloting "their" airplane.

At least it's not a Legacy! EWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Just kidding.

560 slow? What about when you have to drive an hour because you can't get into a 3000' runway? What about when you need to go up? 1100+ fpm SE. It's all good as long as it's safe and pays the bills.
