My wife and I just got back from the CJP convention in Phoenix and I have to say it was a blast and one of the best aviation related events I have attended - ever. The seminars, the content, the speakers, the fellow pilots and the venue were fantastic. We also were able to meet a lot of our great friends from BT and CJP as well as make lots of new friends. Claudia and I had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with Andrew and Natalie Vann - a first class couple. Highlights of the trip were the party at Hangar One in Scottsdale where Textron had part of the Citation line up including a Tamarack equipped CJ2, an M2, a CJ3 a CJ3+ and a Citation Latitude, the dinner auction and private concert with Jake Owen, along with all of the fantastic seminars and breakout sessions. The speakers were equally impressive - Neil Singer, Charlie Precourt, Brian Shul, and the list goes on.... Tamarack also provided demo rides on the CJ, a CJ2 and a CJ3 - eye-openers for most on how this technology makes a good airplane fantastic (keep an eye on Tamarack - big announcements coming). Claudia also enrolled on the companion's flight training course and was able to land our plane... 3 times! Now she is talking about getting her pilot's license! And to top it all off, Mark Hangen and Blondie organized a great dinner party at the Elements in the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort with the added bonus that Mike Penman and his beautiful wife came down from Telluride to meet up with all of us. Here are some pics of the week and photos of the wonderful dinner we had last night with all our BT/CJP friends - John, Carlos, Ken, Darin, Bill, Clint and Carol, Allen and Marie, Micheal and Charlotte, Andrew and Natalie, and of course Claudia at the end. Thank you guys for a wonderful time - let's do it again! Attachment: Party.jpg The guys end... Attachment: Girls End.jpg The girl's end.... Attachment: MH with ladies.jpg And notice how while we were all talking airplanes, Mark was entertaining the ladies - who's got his priorities right? Attachment: Money.jpg Mike P using Clint's money to settle his debts with Mark!!! Attachment: H1.JPG Hangar One party in Scottsdale Attachment: The Vanns.jpg Andrew and Natalie - what a great couple! Attachment: CJ2.jpg The winglet equipped CJ2 Attachment: FL450R.jpg A view at FL450 in the CJ3 - the CJ3 not only climbs faster, but speeds up to MMO and maintains this speed at economy cruise settings, improving the specific range from .58 to .63/.64. Nick Guida and his team are on to something good - what's next? EMB100? C510? Challenger? Boeing? I guess we'll find out soon.

An absolute blast hanging with the boys! (and, in my case..the girls ) PS...Michael P had to pay a small fee for not being Citation type rated.

Hi Alex, thanks for your kind words and hanging out Nat and myself the last few days. I had an absolute blast and more importantly Nat did at an aviation event! Go figure.
As Alex says it was a great event.
As for Mark and blondie thanks champ for arranging last night. It was a blast meeting all the BT friends that I only ever knew via this forum. It’s wonderful that we get connections like this.
I got to spend a bunch of time with the master , Allen W, what a legend.
Better all get prepared for next year!
Andrew

It was great being able to meet long term BT brethren and share our mutual love of aviation.
We are off to NBAA in Vegas this week for a bit more.

No one does a airplane convention/get-together like CJP. Everything is top shelf.
