They kept talking about Aspen and FO kept saying Rifle.

Having never been in there in the 604 I really never looked at the performance numbers out of there in it. I know you fly the 605 and Global. I'm assuming there is no way in hell that your getting out of there on the SID if it is IFR on the 605.... How bout the Global if it light?
Nothing climbs like a Lear 60 when it has 2 engines, but with the altitude and one out it still can't comply. Didn't know how the Global did on one engine with it being light fuel (course your light fuel can probably get you back to the East coast on the Global)
