Awww, come on Alice! You'll spoil a good yarn by introducing such stupidities as 'logic' & 'common-sense' and other such useless frivolities.
I've been reading this thread with some amusement since it opened and I been waiting for it to draw to its inevitable conclusion that goes something along the lines of :
- as the PC24 is only a 'bit' faster than the PC12, what's the point? I mean it's not as though the block speeds are a gazillion times lower, what's the point?
My response was going to be that, as speed and modernity of the aircraft don't (apparently) matter, the RFDS could go back to the venerable de Havilland DH-50A or such similar (just as soon as someone rustles up a good price - can't waste any money don't-cha-know?).
