ACL, got to admire your optimism, but you're going to do some serious brainwashing get north guys to take the whale of their pref, especially due to how low it went this time. I have no rational reason to want to fly that airplane, but want it I do, and when 10400 gets his whale, i plan to be right behind him. That thing is a work of art in motion compared to the unremarkable boeing and airbuss light twins out there in the market place. I'd love nothing more than to "mount" her spiral staircase and find my way to the cockpit (way up in that beotch) and drive her home all night long.
