Embraer Legacy
#3
yeah I can see that..... As far as size, its upthere with the G-IV, G-V, Globals and Large Falcons, yet no where near their MTOW or powerplant ratings. I imagine its MUCH cheaper to operate, correct???

This is what I hear from mechanics and the owner. About 30% cheaper to operate than a G4. Plus, dispatch reliability is incredible given the experience the airframe has had at the airlines.

3000nm at 0.74M...sounds like what a CRJ-200 conversion with aux fuel tanks will do with a somewhat larger cabin, although I'm sure the Legacy will do it off less runway. Never been on a Legacy, but I was very impressed with MJET's CR2 conversion that was on display at NBAA and imagine they're similar.
Both are excellent large-cabin options if you don't need nonstop international range...

EMB145 Captain, are you an Embraer demo pilot or something? You sound like a commercial, ha! Nothing wrong with liking your jet... It's not quite the same quality as a G-String, and MUCH louder in the flightdeck. Not a bad rig, COULD be a decent cost/capability compromise.
