Thanks you. I should have looked before posting. You still enjoying your 12?

Oh yeah. I'd love to get a 24. They're promising me 2020 delivery. I do;t think I'll have valid medical by then.

HA! We will all be a little grayer by then! Am sure Scotty and Mr. E can move you to the head of the class!

You'd think so but no joy. They say 2020 to me like they're doing me a favor already.

Can you imagine ordering something right now and waiting for a 2020 delivery? What would you do? Think how much the market will change between now and then. There will be single pilot jets selling for a fraction of what they're selling for now by then.

Put the pipe down, Jason. I don't know much, but 3 things in life are certain: death, taxes and ever increased price of entry into aviation...So unless you're talking used vs new, I highly doubt anything will be cheaper in 2020...

I've never bought a factory new airplane. I nice, low hour, newish CJ4 sounds next year sounds good to me.

I really just love the way the CJ4 looks and since "looks" are 99% of the reason I want a jet I might as well go with the one I think looks best. HA!

Do it. I cannot imagine the 15k a year casp payment is anymore than what you pay to Honeywell right now? Fly with proline once, your jaw will drop. Not pretty but effective. Think ugly chick ;-)

What's this?

It's the Collins (Proline) maintenance program - CASP = Corporate Aircraft Service Program. Oh, and you do need it - if any of that stuff breaks, you'll lose more than your breath!
