Been reading this thread with great interest, as we are considering a C-VII to complement a C-II. We are doing airtaxi/charter out of northern Europe.
The main thing is, is there an obvious alternative to the Cessna in the $5.5m to $6.5m (preowned) market ?
Standup cabin (if you can call 1.74m that) is a must together with APU.
But great replies so far!
