which corp aircraft to buy?

[ClassG]

A new PC-12 for $3.5M

Excellent warranty. Reliable. Big inside. Comfortable. Quiet. Payload aroung 3700#s. Range around 1700nm. Goes ANYWHERE. Cost about $400 an hour direct operating costs. All at about 260-270 knots.

If it weren't for the REQUIRED 100 hour inspections, it'd be about perfect for your needs. But you have extra money to spend on those. They generally cost $5000-6000 for a 100 hour. Check it out. Wish I were in your shoes, I'd sell them on one.

[Dizel8]

Cessna 441 with Dash 10 engines. about a mill or so fully loaded. Fast, relatively rooomy and great to fly!

Of course, a nice Lear 31 is always an option!

And wait in those horrible security lines, and be smashed in a cattle car.

No Thanks!!!!!!

I have to say that since I fly coporate jets, I hate to travel any other way.
Ever time I go to school on an airliner I just cringe.

I second that. I know, I know, but I'd rather pull up in my old 337 than get on a 737.

-but if he really wants the ultimate in style, theres the Piaggio 180 Avanti. if it was possible to pick up chics with a plane on looks that one would do it....and its near 400 knots of speed. i dunno the cost of one tho.

There are 2 of them listed, no price, on Controller. New they are under 5MM. If you had one of those, and couldn't get laid, it's because you don't want to.
