HB Pricing Structure
Hawker Beechcraft (nee Raytheon) were flogging the G36 for USD$619K give or take a penny depending upon your requirements at the end of 2006. Sold a sh!tload and then reduced the price to USD$579K (again give or take a $) for 2007. Imagine the joy of those who paid the USD$619K plus. Raytheon also did similar last year when they flogged C90GTs for around the USD$2.9m. When asked if they had intentions to fit a glass cockpit the answer was a firm NO! Asked if one could be retrofitted, again a firm NO! Guess what. Have a look at the C90GTi. Can go on and on about HB/Raytheon and their pricing structures. Unfortuneately their professionalism leaves a lot to be desired particularly when one compares them to Cessna.
The G36 is still a 62 year old design. Not taking the p!ss about its performance on anything, just pointing out a fact.
