[On Your Six]

LXJ31,

While I like the looks of the Sovereign, I think I'd rather fly your CL300...

LXJ31,

While I like the looks of the Sovereign, I think I'd rather fly your CL300...

I think I'd rather fly your F-15....maybe the B-1. (I used to fly freight into Abilene, so I'd go check out the activity at Dyess.)

I think this is the first dinged up Sovereign; somebody had to break the seal.

I wish there were more! Maybe I could actually use my type rating <sigh>

Ce680

Did a demo a while back in the CE680 the engines are electric start...Man took for ever to start..Can see many starter/gen problems with those big engines. Was not impressed at all. Just another Citation.

 

[dicepilot]

Did a few crosswind landings yesterday (60 degs from rwy 19G32) and survived. The wind has a strong effect on the aircraft when the ref speed is at 96. A little extra speed helps without increasing the landing distance very much. The starters will be the weak point on these engines. Otherwise, we're pretty happy with it.
