Friend said he saw a Longitude in the Netjets hanger recently. Impressive airplane.
The Longitudes are a super midsize airplane, like the Challenger 350s. They will supplement that fleet. The Xs and Sovereigns will be slowly disposed of, with the Xs going first. The passengers really like the Challengers. NJA needs more super midsize jets. But management decided to purchase Longitudes instead of more CL-350s. It'll be interesting to see how they compare.
