Thanks for all the help!! We usually have 5-8 people onboard for the trip. It is a small airport in colorado so it is usually pretty cool in the mornings in the summer. We can use Montrose if it is just way to hot but they perfer the little stip in the moutians. Budget wise we are really looking to stay around 2-5 mil. I heard the Lear 31 works well.?. The 300 works great and I dont think there is a jet that they can "load up" with pax and bags like you can the 300. I am worried about what Flyflyfly said about shooting myself in the foot. Im sure there are plenty of guys out there that have jumped from King air's to light jets and made it look pretty. We do this trip only about 20% of our flying and im not sure that if we did have a jet we would do 1000+ legs. Thnaks again!
 
King Air owners have a habit of backing up a Chevy Suburban to the plane that is full, can a LR31 do that?
 
the citation or 31a is probably your best bet

Sounds like you already have the ideal airplane for your mission. If boss wants a shiney jet, he'll have to settle for the other airfield. In all practicallity, a 4000' strip at 6000'msl is just not enough runway for a jet, especially any jet that compete with the B300 for useful load. If boss wants a new airplane, suggest the B350... with the ProLine21, its pretty slick.
