The entire line of Cesna Biz Jets are Fischer Price hardware with the possible exception of the Citation III.

Underpowered and not much weight hauling ability.

Now if you want to get from point A to point B in a hurry, a Lear 25 is the pocket rocket. A Falcon 20 is pretty good. One of the newer vintage Hawkers is a pretty fine ride too.

The biz jet industry is just falling prey to what has always given it it's ups and downs. When a corporation's stock price is only half of what it was three years ago, the planes gotta go. They thought fractional ownership would rescue them from that trap, but it won't.

I think part of your point might be that Cessna losing business might have as much to do with the quality and value of their product line as general economic conditions. I'd probably agree.

Yup. I think that's the main point. And the point of the guy who posted the article. Which is: Umm, the economy still continues...down.
