We sold ours in late 2013, and for the most part have very few negative things to say about the classic 2000. It is a bit underpowered, especially when trying to climb in the mid-20s, and low 30s with A/I on (I fly a Challenger 300 now, so no comparison on climb performance).

But other than that, it is a great airplane. Very reliable, large wide cabin, very large baggage compartment with a 1600 pound limit. Max demonstrated x-wind is 35 knots, which is higher than any corporate jet I have flown. The feel of the aircraft is what I miss the most about it; you can literally fly it with 2 fingers and is very responsive (typical of most Falcons). I did several max x-wind landings in it and is a non event (just don't exceed 11 degrees bank or you will strike a wing tip).

As far as range, I believe the book says it will do 3000 nm with NBAA reserves. I think 2800 is probably a better number, although 1800 was the longest leg I ever flew in one, so I would do some more research on that.

Runway numbers are very good, although we always used a min runway of 5000, you could easily do less than that.
