Question Citation Xs in Europe

Any European-based pilots out there flying the Citation X? I know that one is operating out of Leeds.

If so, what are your impressions of the aircraft? How does it compare to earlier aircraft you have flown? Any interesting stories (e.g., outrun military aircraft)? Can you fly transatlantic in it?

Just curious - and envious...

Thanks

The one wont be at Leeds much longer its for sale.
I hear they are crap in a crosswind because of slow roll speed, quite a number have apparently touched wingtips on the ground in the US

Yeah, slow roll rate, plus that whopping great tail all contribute to shaving a little off the wing each time.

The chap in Leeds likes the speed, but apparently doesn't like the cabin size - life's a bitch isn't it!
