Has anyone mentioned the Eclipse?
FL410
True out 350-370 kcas
Super-simple single-pilot
Around 400pph in the mid to high thirties
Pick up a used one sub-$1 million
The downside is size. Full-fuel payload around 700 lbs. And no external baggage.

Not going to take the time to read this entire post so sorry if this is a repeat. B1900D. Lots of room, lots of lift, short fields and operates as a lower cost than a KA350. You can get a single pilot type on it.

A guy I've contracted for the last year in a (then) brand-new PC-12NG didn't like the groundspeed shown on his iPad on a recent westbound from KY-CA. He's now swapping it for a new EMB-505 (Phenom 300).
I'll miss the NG because I LOVE the Honeywell Primus APEX over all other FMS in which I'm experienced, but overall am accepting of this transition.

If KY to CA was the regular mission, clearly the wrong airplane was initially purchased. How did he end up in a PC12 to begin with?

He had brochure disease, and acted alone. The mission has morphed, however. I expect to get over the loss of the PC-12 in a timely manner.
