Citation drivers won't let you make that mistake - they'll make darned
sure you know it's a Citation.

The same is true for everyone driving any Cessna larger than a Skylane.
The only ones calling themselves "Cessna" are flying model numbers
lower than 190.


I call Citation 500's and 501's as "Twin Cessna" traffic when they're
clogging up a Flght Level with their slow moving, slow climbing lethargy. A
200 knot, 500 FPM climb-out in the mid twenties? You gotta be kidding...
