Not very spectacular for $25M. I don't think Trump even spent that much, and he gold plated everything from the carpet fibers to the light bulbs.

I liked everything...except the operating costs! It's truly a remarkable aircraft.

(I'm a small business owner...operating costs are everything for me, hence owning a lesser Citation).

You are funny and quite humble, as not many small business owners I deal with own a jet of any sorts.. Congrats and continued success !!

mafishman1 has a reputation beyond repute

Haha I almost didn't open the thread because I too thought it was an NBA thread. Fortunately I saw the extra 'A' at the last second and found a bunch of cool stuff in here! Don't know a lot about planes, but these look pretty awesome. Cool shots!

Does anyone have any information on when the Cirrus Vision SF50? Any up close experience with it yet?

I didn't see it at the show. It may have been at the convention center, which I didn't make it to.

Several other VLJ's to watch out for, too!

With more money coming in from the new owners, it has been accelerated a bit. Still though, it's a ways out. They have 1 or 2 flying already. You can find an update on their testing here:
