Now for the hard part...
If you are getting a Mustang then join CJP - https://citationjetpilots.com You will get more then your membership fee in member benefits.

Heres a pic at FL410, TAS 341, GS 407 kts. Burning 260 pph/side. Impossible. That's 1200 miles and according to the experts here you would have fallen out of the sky after 500 because 'light jets are so range limited'.

So often I see pictures, taken enroute, and don't. Had my a** bailed out numerous time thanks to monitoring 121.5. As in we were just about to call Norad on you...

Depends if you live life as an optimist or a pessimist.

John, Quote: What stands out to me, instantly is you have comm 2 on 121.5 ! Not only necessary and recommended ( required ) , but you hear some really funny stuff on 121.5. It did save me once....busy, was waiting to check in...I had the center, only .05 off on frequency. Within 3-4 minutes I hear my number on 21.5.
