Flight Options and the Hawker Horizon

[On Your Six]

Excluding all of the doom and gloom related to the potential relationship between FLOPS and Swift, does anyone know whether FLOPS is scheduled to get the Hawker Horizon? If so, what is the proposed entry date? Looks like a nice aircraft - although I still like the look of the CL300 more...

Not anytime soon. Our last CEO that just left said we were not getting it. He said they didn't want to be the test bed for it. So I guess I would say never. Don't think the place is going to be around long enough for anything new anyway.

Why would anyone want to be the roll-out customer for a just certified airplane? Seems like asking for trouble to me.

Well Options tried it with the Premier and it was a big flop. Hey wait a minute that just like the company is now. So therefore it would have been a perfect match.
