Large Cabin Aircraft opinions wanted

Now I'm sure your one trick pony BBQ in North Carolina is pretty good, but here, I can get any types of meat, with any types of sauce. And it's ALL good. If I ever have a need to move to N.C., and after I buy the prerequisite double wide, carpeted toilet seats, and have 12 kids all with rhyming first names - I'm sure I'll enjoy the good, but very limited, BBQ.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

Big D takes the bait

I'm only a victim of my taste buds. But let me tell you a little secret, CatYaaak - you know how I'm always talking about Cooper's in Llano? Well, their specialty is pork, not beef. It's ALL good, of course. But if you want pork, it's all there. Chops, ribs - whatever you'd like. And their sauce isn't sweet - it's vinegar based.

Now, don't go movin' to NC flashing your money and lording it over your less-fortunate neighbours with a high-falutin' DOUBLE-wide (complete with carpeted toilet seats) and driving up the price of real estate....they'll think you're a Yankee!

But if Cooper's in Llano's specialty is real BBQ (pork, vinegar), then by default you're right about it being the best BBQ in TX, and I'll have to check it out to see how it stacks up. You've given me hope that someone out there in TX might know what they're doing. And given the reasonableness and wit of your many posts on a variety of subjects in the past, my inclination would have been to trust you, except then you compared NC BBQ first to a Citation, and then a Learjet... WHICH IS TOTALLY FRIGGIN' INSANE! So now I'll "Trust, but verify". I mean sure, there's a Mexican restaurant in Geneva, and it seems like "good" Mexican food to the Swiss, but c'MON....

And what's up with this propensity to sling "BBQ sauce" on every meat and everything in sight? That's not discriminating at all....it's indiscriminate! And what do you need it for anyway?..all that sauce? It's useless on pork, it ruins a good steak, and all the other food in the world should be deep-fried.

And if you really want to fit in, make sure the kids have rhyming middle names, not first. You know.."Jimmy Ray, Lisa May, Peggy Sue, Bobby Lou..etc".

Heh heh - touche man! Tell you what, the next time you're in town, I'll treat you to whatever BBQ you want. Maybe you'll even learn to like BBQ based on beef, not pork.

BBQ vs Large Cabin

Well one thing is for sure about the debates on this post. When you are deciding which large cabin aircraft to buy or which BBQ to eat, it really cant be considered a bad day.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE though,,,, dont forget the PORK ribs at Corkys in Memphis!!!!! Miklebobs in Naples also makes a pretty mean set of Baby- Backs.

Personally, I like all of the sauces, Except the one a buddy of mine made that had apple sauce added to it. To sweet and it was impossible to keep from burning on the grill.

BBQ, Smokey's in Savannah, conveniently located between most hotels and Gulfstream.

Carrying BBQ? How 'bout the C-17. 3500' "unimproved" runway at around 500,000lbs. Of course you burn more the first hour than most airplanes in this thread can carry... around 24klbs/hr. It drops after that all the way down to 16k or so after 8 hours of flight... and you could carry 40+tons of BBQ on those 8 hours.

Gulfstream's and type ratings. The FAA just ruled that all new G's with the G-550 cockpit are covered by the G-V type. That means the 350's-550's are all same type... sorry G100-200 guys. This would make it feasible to buy a "smaller" G and move up later and save a lot on training.

Well NC BBQ may be a Citation or Learjet and Texas BBQ might be a Gulfstream, but one thing is for sure, no matter how you slice it a Legacy is still the Brussel Sprout of Corporate Jets!

Mmmm, Corkys...

Hey Falcon Capt, how about, "the Whole Hog," in LIT. Next time you drop your airplane in LIT have the maint CSR's take you there.

Ooohhh... I'll have to keep that in mind!

Sounds good bigD, and I'll happily ingest some of that beef BBQ at your direction if I'm out that way. Drinks are on me though, and I'll recommend Guiness, which of course is the Gulfstream of readily-available beer.

Not only do I wholeheartedly agree, but I believe you've coined a new moniker there. At least for me the next time I see one, "Brussel Sprout" will go through my head.
