Boss has decided it's time to upgrade. We currently operate a Lear 55, and he would like something with a bit more room. Coast to coast anytime of the year, and the ability to make Europe out of the Northeast nonstop, coming back stop is OK.
Looking at something in the 5-8mil range.
Typical long haul trips are in the 3-4.5 hour range, but we do just as many trips in the .5-1.5hr range.
About a fourth of the trips are 4 adults, 3-4 kids w/lots of bags. Rest of the trips are usually 1-4 adults with light baggage.
He doesn't like Hawkers.
He mentioned the X because it goes fast. Late 90's models in the price range.
He also mentioned the Falcon 50. Great bang for buck. We have a 50-4 w/proline 21 offered to us in the low 5mil range totally refurbished in 2009.
Falcon 2000 on the higher end of the price range.
Challenger 300 is too expensive aquisition.
Challenger 601 has a high DOC, 604 still too pricey.
Looking at other ideas if anyone has any???
Thanks!
