Someone mentioned Conquest II around here. <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">
It's the perfect 4/5/6 place charter ship, it will go anywhere the C310/Baron will for the same price, AND THEN, you can send it off with 10 pax over the same distance if you need to, OR 4/5/6 towards 1000nm and arrive in the circuit very shortly before or after the local regional turboprop or jet, OR, a couple of pax towards 1800nm in a bit over 6 hours. . .Who needs a Citation, which is the main reason they stopped production, they were just too damn good.
All at FL330 and 290KTAS. . .At about the same capital costs and the same operating cost per mile as a really good piston.
The pax just love em.
And all the old wives tales you here about the Garrett are just that, they are in fact, the secret of the types success.
Give me old mate Bobby Douglas a call, (he's a straight shooter and he knows nearly as much as I do about them) <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
and he'll get you going. . .I believe that there was quite a queue for the ones that the RFDS have disposed of.
'20 series Lears, I dont think so.
