I did have a broker contact me last week out of the blue though.

I get inquiries about buying my Citation V about twice a week.

I'm pretty sure I could sell it for twice what I paid just 20 months ago.

Nope, not going to. I've put too much time and effort into fixing it up the way I want, so now its mine for a long while.

You need to add Jet Elite to your signature block. Heck you are the father of that tag!

The best part about buying your last plane first, is that you don't have to deal with all this market BS, you don't have to browse controller ads, etc- you just pay for fuel/insurance and fly the paint off it

Based on the advice of several folks here, this is what I did. Jumped from an SR-22 to the 501SP. Absolutely no regrets!

I also get sales calls from time to time. Seems to go in waves. The last few weeks I have been getting 2 calls/week. It had been quiet for a couple months before that. Not sure what triggers these waves.

It's all aggregated through this entity, they are quite obnoxious in how deliberately they share your information

I unsubscribed to all of that

Jetnet is selling your info to companies like that, they are the root of the problem from what I have seen

They are also the aggregator of information that a lot of these broker types use for information and Intel on your plane, jetnet will pull a list of all STC's installed, etc- and aggregate all of the FAA information available for purchase, and then sell access to that info to these entities

Obnoxious eh?

The only problem with that theory is that you don't get your last salary first.

My progression in airplanes and ratings:

1954 Cessna 170B: 1988-1993, private pilot
1966 Piper Comanche 260B: 1993-1999, instrument rating
1974 Cessna T210L: 1999-2008
1975 Mitsubishi Mu2 M model: 2008-2021, commercial pilot
1991 Cessna Citation V: 2020 on, CE-500 type rating

Nobody buys an airplane they need, they buy an airplane they can (hopefully) afford.

Also, I vow never to buy an airplane I am qualified to fly. If you do, then you didn't make a big enough step.

This rule was broken with the T210L and it was sadly not a satisfactory jump in capability.

Had the 180 HP CS prop conversion and nothing beats the style of rounded tail feathers.

1991 Cessna Citation V: 2020 on, CE-500 type rating

Kind of curious to note the age of the aircraft when I bought them:

1954 Cessna 170B: 1988, 34 years
1966 Piper Comanche 260B: 1993, 27 years
1974 Cessna T210L: 1999, 25 years
1975 Mitsubishi MU2 M model: 2008, 33 years
1991 Cessna Citation V: 2020, 29 years

Apparently, I buy airplanes about 30 years old. I guess that's when they reach a certain level of maturity and refinement that suits my taste (and budget).
