I've flown all the CE-500 models. They are good airplanes.

Comparing them to an old Falcon is like comparing a pack mule to a race horse (a stud with big junk).

If I hit the powerball my first additions to my fleet will be a Falcon 10 and 20 Retrofit.

My old Falcon 10 mentor has gone west. His favorite story was climbing out of New York leading the pack in the direction of the Texas fatherland. He was just running normal speed and trying to conserve a little fuel. The controller asked him for max forward airspeed. As he streaked off ahead of everyone the controller asked his indicated airspeed. His response was, "We're showing 365, do you need some more"?

I had a trip from ADS to YIP a few years ago in a 20 retrofit. The boss had an important business meeting. He showed at the airplane 20 minutes late in a fluster. With his phone in his hand he asked how late we were going to be. It is good to have an excuse to demonstrate an aircraft's capabilities. I just smiled and said we aren't going to be late.
We stayed in the upper 20's and called on the engine room for power all ahead 3/thirds.
At .86 direct it doesn't take long to get back on schedule.

That’s true, but only in the speed aspect.

We were on the ramp with about 15 other airplanes at Vegas putting covers on and securing it for overnight when a big G-jet pulled in and unloaded a bunch of people. The last couple that got off walked about a hundred yards across the ramp to ask if they could take a look at the old Falcon. After taking a look he said, “That’s my Gulfstream over there, but this is the best looking airplane on the ramp”.

FECKIN EH BUBBA!

I miss this old gal.

And that….Ladies and Gentlemen, is why he is the Boss! Knows exactly what to say to his audience.
