Score one for another plant-based aviator! I hear Mike is a pretty good stick.

I start my type rating this weekend. I think there's no better time to own a legacy Citation than now. Parts and gas are cheap. It's a well engineered good looking easy to fly bird.
Reason for the purchase was my wife wasn't going to fly in the IV-P on long trips anymore. Honestly she hated the noise of switching fuel tanks and mixture/prop changes. She is happy so I'm happy! Read the “Flying the Citation II” thread (if you haven’t already). Boat load of good info.

What's he moving on to? He wants to get an F-5 fighter. Read his history into this sort of thing having owned a T-33 and an F-86 Really nice guy he loves airplanes.
