I live and work in Albuquerque, NM where this piece of crap plane was born. I was working at KABQ when this crappy plane first flew. I would never fly in one and i would never even accept one even if it was given to me for free. This is a plane that was made by incredibly stupid people. Great idea bad vision

@fixedwing86 I am not sure why living and working near Albuquerque makes any claim that the AC is a piece of crap noteworthy. I would be interested in the reasons why you feel the plane is really that terrible. Did the FAA issue an airworthiness certificate? Humm.. kinda makes anyone that would not take one for free sound like a knee-jerk idiot. I really would like to hear exact reasons why its bad (if there are any, or you are just in a pissing contest with the developers for some reason)

These planes are so nice. I fly out of KPCM and saw one come in last night, and the pilot was nice enough to let me peak my head in to check it out. Very very nice cockpit. The one that landed there last night just left today for Charlotte, NC.

N6100 is being flown out of KCGF the airport that I work at. Steve Cirino is still flying it and is a great guy.

[austinober]

(cutem) you could feel the roar of the engine and hear it but it was quiet enough to were you could talk over it it was nice

[zep4life]

awesome

[cutem]

Really nice video. And yes, it is tiny! But it fits it's purpose.

[austinober]

actually when you get in to it it magically gets really big its really strange (not sarcasim been in one flew it to houston)

[cutem]

Cool. What was the power like taking off?

Did it seem fast?

And how about the noise, I love hearing the roar of a jet engine!

[austinober]

it was very powerful we got up to airspeed very quick but it was the quitest jet I had ever flown in you didnt need noise cancleing headsets

it was also very fast we went mach.64 with 2000 pounds of fuel and 6 people in it

[cutem]

I'd love to know if you'd be allowed to fly one on a ppl!

There's a lot of players getting into the VLJ market. There is even a 2 seater Eclipse!

[austinober]

I am pretty sure you can

[austinober]

yes you actually FEEL the roar of the engine though you can talk over it so its just right

[billaire1]

I test flew this plane it was amazing!
