Legacy Bashfest - Bring it on!

[banned username 2]

Quote soirces?? How about the w/b data from the airplanes themselves and the AOM???? You do not get any more definitive than that!

But you keep telling us all the WSofD books are wrong and that the airplane is "better than that" and it "always beats the book"...

"I could have easily flown over 9 hours. The airplane performs better than the book. I am betting the website stats are for the Legacy I / Shuttle. Get with the program. The plane is better than that."

Uh huh...

I'm starting to think you might have a fetish for the legacy.

Once again WHO CARES WHAT THE DAY TO DAY OPS ARE. Sure it might beat the book but I'm sure the Gulfstream does too.

We are trying to compare apples to apples. Show us cold hard facts from the AOM or shut the F up.

Once again if the book says the plane can't take off from a certain length it can't do it. No matter what you might think it can do. If the book says it can't do it IT CAN'T DO IT.

So start brining some facts to this fight. Because it looks like you brought a knife to a gunfight.

I find it hilarious that even with my typos... Even with using three percent off the average... I still break even and this assumes ZERO resale value in ten years (which is highly unlikely).

Since acrochik is such a braniac perhaps she can give us a short course on dollar cost averaging. The ten percent return will still work even with losses unless we are miraculously in the midst of a pardigm shift. It is not relevant any way. Seven percent breaks us even.

I admit this has been entertaining...

You are really getting on my nerves. The book numbers are based on a 30.5K LB airplane, not the 29K LB production II versions. I am not quoting the AOM for performance any way--i am quoting it for changes to the airplane itself! The w/b data for each s/n is not in the aom. I have to go to the specific book for that airplane (which I have been able to do for two Legacies--both significantly lighter than the I and the demo).

Once again... Opinion...

Bring some facts...

Ok, I've got to chime in. I'm sure the Legacy is a good airplane. I'm sure it will get the job done. I'm also sure that an operator won't change an order from a GIV/V, Falcon 900/7X, or a Challenger 604/Global Express to the Legacy.

You obviously love your plane (maybe a little too much), but you need to realize that you aren't changing anyone's mind.

Can we talk about something different now?

 

[LegacyDriver]

Probably right. I state facts (weight changes, wiper removal, tank mods, fairings--all readily visible with the naked eye on any Legacy II sitting on the ramp or in the airplane in the case of BOW) and they are called opinions. There is no point in debating ppl who question the veracity of my statements while accepting without question the opinions and statements of those who attack the Legacy and those with the temerity to defend it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't you come here looking for a fight???

Note title of thread "Legacy Bashfest - Bring it on!"...

Note Thread Author: "LegacyDriver"

You asked for it, you got it...

What was that you were saying about getting more days off??? Stay waiting for your "quick witted" rebuttal...

WSofD... ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

The title, in addition to the post that spawned it, was tongue-in-cheek. I have no problem with ppl making objective, reasoned criticisms or the airplane. It is not perfect--no airplane is.

The personal attacks and dismissive attitudes are a bit much however. I should have known it was to be that way.

I'm off until the 27th. Been off since 4th. YMMV.
