CL300 Sets speed record

[GVFlyer]

By "wrong direction", I meant they took off in the direction with the 297 ft. displaced threshold - runway 6. 4600' was plenty for the mission.

If I were doing the flight, that's the direction I would take-off as well - runway 06 is pointed at Bangor. It can take time to get turned around and headed toward your destination if you depart Rwy 24 and those minutes count against you on a record run.

Yes, but it was still the shorter runway. I'm sure you see my point, GV.

Yep, sure do. However, I still think that the most impressive thing about the CL300 is it's price point; at $17.85 million it is millions less than other similar mid-size cabin aircraft such as the G200, the Falcon50EX, the Citation X, the Falcon 2000 and the Horizon.
