LoL... again... what??
I took a G200 from Geneva, Switzerland, climbing at 300/.80 to FL390 in 13 minutes... that is a rocket.
Your take-off distances for a normal 2-3 hour leg are in the 3800-4300' ballpark with typical loads.
Out of Aspen on a clear day, you can make it to the east coast doing .80 cruise with zero problems.
You are in cruise power range in the climb out until about 20k feet, otherwise you would be doing 5-7 thousand feet per minute.
What 200 are you flying?
And the reason they are cheap right now is because of the G250... and the market sucks (not sure if you noticed). You think they would still ask 20 million for a CL300 if the CL350 came out?
