Generally, when I see a poster come up with some scheme to buy an old Gulfstream or Lear, my fanboy and poser alarm goes off. Why? Because those are the generic titles the general public gives to all...

I've noticed the absence of those too. Generally the major monthly publications, send their guy out to fly the thing, where we can get some semblance of real world numbers. There's nothing of the...

One occurrence I've noticed with some of the owner/single pilot jet accidents, is the presence of a non-pilot friend in the right seat, that the pilot is trying to impress or educate. In this case...

The airplane has developed a bad reputation. It's reflected in their prices on the used market. Same year and hours, are roughly half that of a CJ2. And I believe the Premier cost more when new.

The airplane appeals to the wealthy captives of pop culture, who want something unique with a lot of sex appeal. The same people who bought the Beech Starship and DeLorean automobile.

This thing's been lurking around since the late 80's when Swearingen designed it.

Got that weird carrier based landing gear, like they salvaged it off an old F-8 Crusader. Looks like a Falcon 10...

AN2 Driver,

The Stallion is about 10kts faster than the Eagle II, because the Eagle wing mod creates some drag in cruise. The Stallion gains about 300 nm in range over the standard 501, just...

To be honest, I probably wouldn't do the conversion today, but 10 years ago it made more sense, when the price gap with a CJ2 was around $3 million. Now that early CJ2's are much closer in price to a...

I don't think the outlook is as bleak as those here seem to believe. Roughly 20% of the 501 fleet has been converted to the FJ44 engines since 2002. These airplanes are flown regularly, so someone...
