TKS anti-ice

I agree...I'm thinking, as always, it boils down to $$$. If it's worked for close to 40 years, why bother spending money to change it? That being said, there's a few things that could changed to the original Hawker design (External baggage and high operating ceiling for starters...)

I've heard that the 4000 has a hotwing.

The 900XP and 750 both continue to have TKS wet wings. I am not sure about the 4000.

Have they ever given you an explination in training as to why they continue to use this? There must be a reason as it seems like a real pain in the butt. I know when I was working line service I used to hate filling those things up.
