To be fair, the link I provided was a rare example of that mag giving the other side of the story.

To put that in perspective : Gulfstreams (all kinds) 120 I don’t know about G58 backlogs, but the Diamond twins are sold out into Q1 2019. That is at the current production rate, which I hope they can increase. The real bottleneck is people.

I took a test flight - it's an amazing plane. Extremely comfortable, best fit and finish I've seen in any piston plane, and it feels like a non-pilot could learn to fly it in a day - the engine out is just incredible.
