Of the 250,000 odd registered "N" numbered aircraft in the States there are about 12,000 odd biz jets. Sounds about the same ratio to me. I would add that I'd be most surprised if the long ranging "large" bizjets such as Global's are more predominant here. In Australia (and I can't prove it) most bizjets earn a crust for a living. We don't have the large numbers of small jets that private individuals haul around the sky like they do in North America, and many of those types are hangar Queens. My original attack on you was your sweeping statement that "essentially there's no business jet market in Australia" to which I reiterate that yes, the American market is huge, but on a "rest of the world " basis, Australia more than pokes its head above the parapet. Anyway, who gives a sh#t
