Perhaps intimidated his pilots to take this brand new high performance jet into an airport (0A9) that is barely OK for a small prop aircraft.
(1600’ altitude and about 4500’ long runway, with a displaced threshold, surrounded by high terrain.)
Not sure if he owned this jet or chartered?
Either way, a lot of low time inexperienced 135/91 pilots are intimidated to fly into these small airports because it is convenient for the owner or renter!
i don’t think you appreciate the field performance of some bizjets. A friend of mine just did Gstaad (LSGK) elevation and length similar to Elizabethton and flew non-stop to Dubai in G7500.
