Like this little jet here derived from the Citation

JPATS CitationJet

Chapter 17 excerpt << CW, the book << Cessna Warbirds

http://www.cessnawarbirds.com/blog/images/jpats.jpg

If Cessna had gotten the T-1 contract with the Citation, then turned around and won JPATs with this little machine, there would have been two jets on the ramp with 70% mx common logistics train. How is that for a win for the taxpayer? Sen. Dole did not care either way, his voters in Kansas were going to get paid to build airplanes. Cessna lost both and is still in business, Raytheon could have lost both and would still be in business. Want a trainer? Buy a Cessna!!
