@AndrewParkerTV I hope not.. I have cash out of my 401k to pay for maintenance.

Can you say "Flyyyyyyyyyyy like an eagle!"

[AndrewParkerTV]

@loh1110 I just hope they don't get any delays, it's a nice jet it would be a shame to see the orders being cancelled.

[loh1110]

@AndrewParkerTV Really?! Awwwwww Shiiiiet! Then I'm ordering one in Navy Blue!

[AndrewParkerTV]

@loh1110 It is not cancelled, I checked with the company and this jet is available and production starts this year 2012.

[loh1110]

The company canceled production of this project.

@lyianx Then it's affordable since once this becomes 5 years old it would only cost 200K used!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!
