I am trying to figure out how it was possible to walk to the cockpit (flightdeck for politically correct) and not scarf up all those chocolate chip cookies!

Just curious, how did you make the jump from a KA to a Citation? Also, any idea in the difference in operating costs?
Tim How did we make the jump from KA to CE500? Well.... I found a smokin deal on the Cessna. So far, from the figuring I have done, the operating costs are 20% over the KA on a per nm basis... It burns around 120 GPH in cruise, doing about 350kts@ FL360... KA C90 is about 235kts at around 75 GPH And, it's a jet!

Jim, you're livin the dream bruh! I know there are several of us who have dreamed and schemed of doing exactly what you've done. If you don't mind, take us through the journey of going from flying your Bonanza to your Citation. You know, the multi, commercial, turbine, etc... or did you already have these ratings? Congrats
