That is the absolute truth. Especially with older aircraft and engines. More so in my case with the -4B's. Both of my engines have in excess of 14...
I do not think this is at all typical for the Bravos. It was an early Bravo that we actually watched built from scratch in Wichita. Literally from...
Looks like the difference is in the hull value and liability. I have 1.3 hull and 20 mil CSL. Lou, do not get a 551. If you do, you will not need...
HA! Use to fly a Bravo for a rich guy out of KSBA. Worse Citation ever built. I have flown all of the 500, 510, 550, and 560 models. The Bravo was...
Ha! I'd love to meet your Broker! I have a little over 14K total with 7500 jet. All in Citations and Pay more for Insurance. Though I have 1 + 9...
Yes, '85 SII. Flew her for Enron Energy for 5 years. Then went with her out of the Enron Bankruptcy to the new owners. In '06 they got a Falcon...
For the cost, this is what it looks like to hang a '69 Daytona Coupe on the side of your airplane. Or a really nice BB512 AND a 246. [ATTACH]
Well, the examiners say it is the same as the real thing. Though we all know it is not. Nothing I hate more than recurrent training. In the Sim...
Well if you ever fly over Crater Lake again, ask ATC for "The Tour". They will read a prepared statement listing many interesting facts about the...
Lou, have you ever asked ATC for, "The Tour", while flying over Crater Lake?
Thank you. The top picture was landing in Columbus, Nebraska. The bottom picture is sitting on the ramp in Sitka, Alaska. Citations are great...
One thing that people tend to forget about flying 1 SP models is, you may not fly them, legally anyway, over 12,500 lbs MTOW. Not that it matters...
Thank you. I love my SII. I have been in this particular plane for 20 years. She is like a comfortable old leather shoe and flies and looks like...
More than the speed, I like being able to pop up to FL430 to be above most of the weather. I flew King Airs for many years and loved them. But,...
The SII was the first Citation to exceed 400kts. She trues at 410kts. I remember when the SII first came out. It made the cover of Flying Magazine...
HA! That's amazing. I can't even start up, get my clearance, and taxi to the active on 65 gallons. Above 280, I average 175gph. Below 280, I get...
NICE!! Absolutely Beautiful. Someday.....
Aero Commanders are by far my favorite airplane. Ted Smith is one of my aviation heroes. I had a 1956 AC560HC. A recip Commander with two 295 hp...
980. Is that a Turbo Commander?
After doing it, I don't know why I did it. I must of eatin a hallucinogenic mushroom or something. I was concerned with damage. I pictured the 18...
