I'm no Steven Spielberg... or Mark Hangen, but since Mark egged me on when we spoke last, I managed to recharge my GoPro cameras to share a view of my G1000 equipped 525 on a fair weather day (except for the enroute weather).

I didn't have anyone clapping in the back, but at least I got an "Ay Cab..." from my SIC.

Very nice Alex. Great landing, great panel. And I see you recharged both cameras. Penman and Mike C have been busting chops about camera angles. I was going to tell them there is no room left or right of the center. Head hits camera. Now they are going to call me a :liar:

Where are you mounting that left side camera?

Dave S needs to invest in a camera so he can contribute videos to his own thread! Penman needs a Soverign so he can add value.

I used a suction cup with a short arm to not be hitting it with my head. If Penman gets a Sovereign, the only way he'll add value is by inviting us to chear him on. I promise to clap on every landing!

Submit to the urge big boy. You won't ever look back. Less capex than the PC12. 150kts faster. FL450.

Stop wasting time. Look how long it took to buy the PC12.

Not to discourage you Michael but I was flying along last week in a Conquest at FL250 fat dumb and happy. Smooth as butter ride through some thin clouds above all the light rain. All the airliners were looking for better rides in the mid 30's.

Then a Sovereign calls in at FL430 and I'm like show off. Then he requested FL470 and I couldn't hardly take I really wanted to announce show off over the radio.

That 680 must be a beast!

Which is the longest range of the old SP Citation models out there?

BTW, if you want to still stay with economy of TP, the Turbo Commander 900/1000 models can do FL350. The Cheyenne 400LS can do FL410 - and it's faster than the older Citations. But I can sure see the draw with a jet!

Biggest draw to the jet. At least with the people we fly that are flipping the bill.

Quiet. That's it the noise is the single biggest reason.

Appreciate the thought; might be in the C90 for awhile. Between cash flows in my development business and banks have this thing about jets. I'm actively monitoring and enjoying.
