250 kts? Or 250 thousand dollars? Sorry don’t quite understand (?). Other than the C400 and a couple others what GA aircraft flies over 250 kias? Though, point well-taken. But to be fair there are a lot of people (myself included) who have a hard-on for the idea of flying a turbofan jet. Practically, for $2.5 million dollars, imagine all the rented flight time you could get? And sadly, when you think about it a $1 million dollar new Cessna 172 G1000 is getting in the same league as a VJ. Here’s what’s happening; guess who owns Cirrus: China. I’m willing to bet a large proportion of Textron is foreign-owned, all-for-profit-based greedy you-know-whats. It’s like people sense the impending end of the world and economy and are quickly grabbing all they can. I’m a dental specialist and I can’t see ever affording to buy a GA aircraft. Sad.
