20min blocks slower than a CJ on blocks, on what is probably a milk run for it (London - Nice)?

Kingairs have it over price on domestic UK flights as most of them are certified over 6 seats and thus no VAT - on a short sector the time difference is negligible but the extra 17.5% commission for the tax man slates it for a large chunk of people that can't claim it back - and in any case it's easier to sell 6 seats than 4. If the client is bent on a jet then it's easy to get a C II at a competetive price, then sell it on the price difference, longer range, larger cabin etc.

I also wasn't impressed with the build quality on the Mustang that I saw at Farnborough airshow.

It's very easy to turn this into a mustang bashing thread, which isn't the intention, so I will say no more on the subject...
