Indeed.
It’s like a ticking clock.
I want to do it all before I can’t anymore....

Well, I’m sure a lot of people want to bid on Red Bo when the time comes!
Or will you be the first to own a matching set of Beech and Cirrus V-tails?

Nice. If it was mine I would be afraid to do that, but it does look good.

For a long time they had to be white on top. Not sure when or what changed.

I absolutely, positively, 100% guarantee you that the SF-50 is at least 50% easier to fly than the Red Bo is. After you get used to thinking 50% faster anyway. Systems will be new and different but they are logical to a mechanical minded person. Engine management much less of a factor, set it and (nearly) forget it.
Disclaimer, no SF-50 time but plenty of turbine time.

A jet type rating is held to ATP standards and you got to know a lot of stuff. The actual flying the thing by hand is just a small part of being a jet pilot. Mike C.
