All of those previously mentioned biz jets have got too many engines to be efficient (says the Pilatus pilot).

I do, however, miss the "three-holer" from my previous job - the one built by Boeing.

It is fun, though, to think that I now cruise for an hour (longer, actually) on the same fuel we used to plan for TAXI in the 727. Of course...during that entire hour, I keep chanting "turbines don't quit, turbines don't quit..." lol Apples and Oranges, I know - but fun to see the contrasts.

Sorry - just had to throw that in there. You may resume your regularly scheduled argument.
