Falcon 50EX, a bit of overkill but why not :lol:


I can't agree more. Nothing else.


Allow me to add the API winglets and this is a great plane!

KIND - EPGD: 3979 NM (Direct)

It looks like the Falcon 900EX is your bird, though most of the larger Falcons would likely work. The 900EX can go 4,300 NM at long range cruise (0.75 Mach) and would make the trip Eastbound non-stop in 9.3 hours with no wind (more likely 9 hours or less with typical winds) Westbound may require a stop in the winter if the winds are strong. You won't squeeze it into UMP, but a good crew can get it into and out of MQJ. Of course anybody could make it work from IND.

Sadly it's a tad more than the 1000 AMU budget, but who's splitting hairs?

Congratulations!

:clap: ;)

A big hangar and some warbirds. Lots of warbirds. Then I'd start a flying museum and share the fun. However, I'd need a whole lot more than 10 million

And a Netjets share for when I actually want to go somewhere.

TBM--New 930 fly straight to Blackhawk or Rocket (JetProp guys) for the 67 engine from PC-12 installation then add carbon fiber hard enclosed Lav in the baggage area.
Would also need RV 7A with 390 engine for around the patch.

King Air 350 with that new Blackhawk conversion, assuming I can keep the money left over to run the plane

Lancair Evolution with the -140 if I cannot keep the rest

Well, with that restriction I think I'd go with a Cessna 525, or if I'm feeling frugal a 510.

Pilatus PC-24! Was at the factory last week and watched two different tails flying and several more on the line. Beautiful airplanes with a phenomenal capability for the price point. For $10m USD you can even get the stone entry floor option!
Yes, it's true... I work for Pilatus!

Fine, then I'll take this one, a hangar, GSE equipment and an operating budget to keep it well oiled :D

Lufthansa BJB charter.
Was on that once from Frankfurt to Chicago. They cancelled a 747flight and put all of us business types on this thing. Swiss crew. Neat transatlantic crossing ever. Better than Concorde. Better than GS or Citation.

All first class seats. Almost more flight attendants than passengers.

Wow!

Are the operating costs included in the $10M or paid indefinitely outside the $10M?

If included a PC-12 and an X-Cub will do the trick.

If operating costs are paid outside the $10M and indefinitely, then all I need is a PC-12, an X-Cub, and a used G-IV .

:peace:
