flops makes Aspen Daily news

Funny... The Citation X guys always seem preoccupied with speed and power. Easy to see how they might not notice something as small a parking lot full of cars

...A parking lot that was obscured by the crew's view due to the terrain.

*sigh*

See, that just shows how impressive those engines are -- able to put out windows despite being blocked by the landscape. Now that's power ;-)

Anyway, I didn't mean to imply that the crew did anything wrong -- just meant it as a little good natured ribbing. The Citation X crews always seem proud of their plane and its performance-- and I think that's great. I don't see how you could be a professional pilot and not be at least a little bit of a gear head. And there's no doubt that the X is a cool piece of gear.

Apologies if I ruffled any feathers.

Seems fair to me. I flew the thing and freely admit that airplane is $500 million in engineering surrounded by a $2 million airplane with a $30 million price tag.
