Funny you mentioned the Westwind, as I have spoken to some folks who have flown that and all I have heard was what a piece of junk it is. I have not had the opportunity to fly one of course, but back in the day when I used to pump fuel and tow planes at my local fbo, I remember that the ones that were the biggest pain to tow as far as the tow limits and towbar setup were always the westwinds....good memories. Anyways, thanks for the reply.
anytime..
And to be fair to the Westwind, it was a lot of airplane for the money. Its time has certainly come and go though..
A Beechjet initial is about as easy as it gets, ask around, you will get manuals, info, etc..but dont go crazy - initial in not hard, and tends to be longer than need be, even on your first type. Remember, you are a customer - they work for you.
Good Luck!
