NJA orders 50 Phenom 300s

[Hogprint]

I wonder if this could lead to another Embraer order - for the Legacy 450/500. Nice sidesticks with FBW:

Perhaps you guys could replace those G2Uglies with the 450/500s... :laugh::laugh:

If I were a betting man...

the same reason they canceled $2.6B worth of orders with HawkerBeechcraft late last year.

Not exactly the same reason, HawkerBeech can't get an airplane to market if their life depended upon it. Example the Horizon/4000 or whatever the name of that thing is. HawkerBeech should stop trying to make new airplanes and concentrate on what they do best, recycling planes someone else designed with new avionics and calling it a new name.

Didn't you ever hear of or fly an A36,B58 or King Air?

Those are some of the best planes in their markets.

Long Live Beachcraft!

And this has what to do with the frac market? No question the types you cite are outstanding for what they do. But anything Beech offers the frac market is sub par compared to the alternatives. Even the Hawker 900XP relies on ancient technology. You'd think they could at least recertify a hot wing. Running out of TKS fluid in ice is no fun. And the lack of baggage capacity excludes them from further sales to frac operators.

It would seem they are not really interested in the business aviation market, based upon their recent track record. And anything Boisture is involved with is questionable.

Having flown many Beechcraft airplanes from a V35 through King Airs, I couldn't agree more. They are fantastic planes. They do what they are designed to do very well.

However the 400xp is not a fantastic airplane and far from the best plane in it's market, and yes I have flown it.

How the heck did you run out of TKS fluid???

I agree though- they could have at least upgraded the pressure control unit.
