I ferried a Citation S2 from Florida to South Africa and was very impressed with the aircraft.
The flight over the top took 32 hours all up at FL390 where we had fuel burns of 400ibs per hour per side!
When you consider that compared to the Citation 2 which carries 4800 ibs the S2 carries 5800 ibs making it an 1800 nm aircraft.
Climb is better than the 2 cruise faster and having the five wing it is the slowest shortest landing Citation built.
Get one with the Branson Grosse weight mod.
Down side? It is an old generation Citation so you should pick up one for peanuts but more maintenance like all older aircraft.
Weeping wing deice.
I loved it!!!
