What do you like best about your fractional aircraft?

Thanks for answering the original post and adding value.

Challenger 300. It's the best airplane operated by a fractional, hands-down. It's got everything you need: range, performance, comfort, and (for owners) price.

The only downside: The waiting list.

I'm glad we're buddies again. That fight was tearing me up inside.

There's a great article about the history of the Challenger in the May issue of Professional Pilot. Very interesting read.

LR60. Definately a pilots aircraft. The avionics needed what they will get in 07' with the XR. But, you cannot beat the performance of the PW305A. I've personally seen 6-7000 fpm climbs at 250kias. (cold out side of course!!) Just last week in the upper 30's we were holding about 2500+ fpm at ISA 0. I only dreamed of that from the Hawker I used to fly. Lovin' it.

uke: The honey pot. Definetely the honey pot.

Love the Ultra.

You're right on about the honey pot in the Hawker. Not fun. The design in the 60 isn't great, but at least it is external, sort of. Gotta fill'er up from the top, but, some FBO's have the proper system that will do both with minimal effort. Still, love the plane, man. Love the plane!!

Perhaps another consideration (or consolation?) for the Ultra/Encore and 400XP at NetJets is that one of those will be the plane you upgrade in first if you want the earliest possible upgrade. So if you want to keep the incoming rising, you can start in the big, bad Falcon or X, but you'll see a non-APU/non-standup/non-FA "little" jet for that first-available upgrade.

Of course, there's the possibility that the Phenom 300 will be here at NJA by the time someone hired this summer gets to upgrade.

Just say no to Cessnas and beechjets. (or whatever they are called now) I made my choice based on AC. Worst I could have done was the Lear 45. That aint bad. Loving the Lear 60 though. What a ride.
