(do these things really come in so fast?)
Well apparently they do. According to Cessna's blurb, the stall speed of the CJ2+ is 86 kts, giving a Vref of 112 kts. Looking a bit further we can see that the aircraft must also be designed for salad eating midgets; not steak, pasta and Taco Bell munching Americans. The maximum useful fuel is 2,032 kgs. including allowance of 91 kgs for two pilots and stores. Surely the gin would weigh more than that? So where do you get such small pilots?
