I don't remember Craig Wheel. Dick Washer was still there the last time I was there.

Yes- Craig moved over to the CL-300 program.

Great airplane. Flew it back in the late 90's. My training was at Flight Safety in Wilmington. They had a great program and enjoyed the training.

As for the aircraft itself, at first I was not very impressed as I was flying an Astra SP at the same time. I slowly learned to really enjoy flying it after awhile as it has a pretty unique personality as far as airplanes go. A few things I remember is that the nose wheel steering was a bit tricky and very sensitive. Has a hi and low sensitivity setting and was tough to give passengers a smooth taxi when in hi. I flew the WWII, and the winglets seemed to be of minimal help to the airplane. Lots of dutch roll tendencies. MMO on the airplane was .80 and they mean it. Someone above said that the airplane didn't do anything great, but everything pretty good. Have to agree with that. It is heavy on the controls and good landing definately come with time, practice and luck. At any rate, enjoy! Enjoyed the 1000 or so hours I spent flying it.
