CE560XL

Guys !
The CE560XL is a lovely airplane and as I have over a 1000hrs Command on type ,I can shed some info on it.This airplane can climb to FL410 nonstop which only a few 40/50 million $ planes can do.I have flown this airplane nonstop from Tblisi(georgia) to Delhi Nonstop (1780nm) with constant 20knots headwind and had enough to go on to Hyderabad.The secret is to climb to 410 as early as possible.It has lovely handling characteristics as it is a straight wing.Fuel consumption is less than 1000lbs/engine above FL410.Great plane,good choice.Enjoy your flying.I would love to fly it again.
