Premier 1 - Anyone Fly This Yet?

[Heavy Set]

I recently saw a Premier 1 land at VNY - a bit odd looking but definitely innovative in design. Anyone out there fly one of these? What are your impressions - enjoyable to fly? I have seen pictures of the flight deck - pretty impressive glass.

Any opinions would be appreciated. I'd love to fly one too...

We did a demo a few months ago as a possible Citation replacement. Let's just say we are keeping the Citation for now. It all depends on your missions. It was loud on the inside. I can't say that there was anything I really liked. Most of the cool glass was just window dressing for the owner operator set. If I was going to buy something in this class I would look at the CJ3.

My 2 cents

We also demoed one, nice but no sale. Our opinion was simply that the CJ2 was a better value.

It may just have been the way I was sitting in it, but when we demoed it I couldn't even turn the yokes, thing was on my legs with the pedals foward and the seat all the way down. And no I'm not over weight. I'm 6'1" 190 pounds. I'd stick with a CJ2/3. Plus the thing doesn't have any range.
