Very cool video.

A friend of mine runs aviation for a well known southern based restaurant chain, with locations located next to interstate exits and anywhere they're need after a night of heinous drinking...

There is nothing like sitting up in that cabin with that view. And mucho props to the guys that play those aircraft like a virtuoso.

Can you do a CA to NY trip on 1 tank?
Yes...our 800 XP can do that trip, although our previous Citation V would need to refuel at least once going East and maybe even twice coming back depending on the cargo and winds.

All I know is that I get SiriusXM radio pumped through the sound system in the plane and I love it!
That is great my friend. Enjoy it in best of health.

But Xm weather service sounds really good to. But aren't all these Glass cockpits come with XM as an option???
Most likely it's for weather and tunes. XM weather and radio only began being offered as an option for other systems recently. The glass on this XP makes me think that it is older than when they began offering that as a factory option. It wouldn't be to save money though. If you're spending millions on an aircraft already, what's another few thousand for that stuff??

Good stuff... Folks in the back rarely get to see and appreciate what goes on up front. What are your approx. landing and rotation/take-off speeds ??
