Go to florida and get checked out in a P51 and wait for recall
 
CE-500 or LR-JET.

If you got a widebody type it would do you little good as a low total time, low turbine time, zero turbine PIC and international time pilot.
 
Challenger 300, Sovereign, Falcon 2000EX or G450....The first three are all hot sellers right now and IIRC, once you are typed in a G with the "PlaneView" cockpit you can fly the G350,450 and 550.
 
Go with the lear, Citation (CE-500) of maybe a Hawker (HS-125). Those are the entry level corporate aircraft. I think if you were to get a Gulfstream or a Challenger type it would be like getting a widebody type. You would be qualified to fly the airplane but you would have to be very lucky to find somebody to give you a job much less pay you what you are worth to fly it. Best of luck.
 
I looked on the website and didn't see where it talked about pilot training at all. Where should I be looking?
 
Definitely stick to LR-JET, or HS-125. Too many types of Citations out there to pick the right one.
