Default Anyone have a Alpha Flying Grob SPN update?
I noted from Alpha Flying's website that the Grob SPn light jet is expected to enter the fleet during "Q4 2008." Will that still be the case? How has the Grob progressed in its certification?

If the Grob does enter the fleet during Q4, how many are expected? Any idea on projected roll-out rate for Q4 08 and for 09? Check it out:

supposed to be 5 per year, for 5 years, with the option for 10 per year.

Thanks - are they still expecting the Grobs to start arriving in Q4 of this year?

What about PC12 NGs? How many more will they receive this year and next year? Will they be one-for-one trades with the older PC12s or incremental?

The grob website says that it will not be certified until the end of the year, so I doubt they would be on line until sometime after that. On property, maybe, but certainly not listed on the m-specs for some time after that. New jet built with somewhat new technology from an airframer that has never built a corporate jet. Delays? I'd expect some.
