Not even close to the best. I have a friend with part of one (Netjets
share) . With the two pilots and two average size passengers and a
Labrador
it can't go from San Diego to Sun Valley without refueling in a modest
headwind if its warm.

Wrong.

The problem is that at FL350 it will only go about
350kts and even a modest headwind at that altitude is well over 100kts.

At FL350, it does 371 to 385, depending on weight.

I
forget which engines the CJ1 uses but the engines in the CitationJet
cycled
out pretty fast so if you weren't flying long legs the engines would cycle
out well before overhaul.

Geez...since you're so omniscient, I think you'd know that data. The engines
in the CJ/CJ1 are VERY different from the old 500 series.

Piaggio and Premier are much better.

One a vibrator, the other isn't SP certified.

Geez!!!
