"We're prepared to step up to the plate," he said. "We do have ideas on how much we would like to spend, but we are keeping it confidential at this stage."
wonder how many ideas they really have... PC-12's seem to be the popular choice at the moment 5-6 mil (?) a pop not going to take long to well & truely exceed 12mil
maybe they have the idea that the 'old' planes weren't so bad after all...
