Yeah Mojo !! An L-39 and now a Citation II. When I was getting my ticket in the early 80's, the Citation line was the family station wagon of the air. Not the fastest, not the highest flying, but those straight wings gave it wonderful lift at low speeds. She is a beautiful bird. Thank you Mike for this great tour / vid.

I knew a couple that owned a Citation and that was how they made their living up until their retirement. They owned the plane and rented it out and did charter flights with it, great planes for small ma and pa charter business and inexpensive to work on compared to some of the other jets in it size range.

The problem with older jets is that when the engine overhauls are due they are totaled. It will cost $800k to overhaul them and the plane won’t be worth $800k when done. Basically these old jets are worth whatever time is left on the engines until overhaul.

Hi Mike, thanks for the videos they are great, I have a question about high TT aircraft particularly turbo props which I am interested in. You did a video on 5 of them and one in particular caught my attention, the Merlin III. All these aircraft are going to have high hours 5000 - 8000 plus so aside from the cost of maintenance on engines which you would have to cover anyway, what is the cost on on air frames like? Does the airframe eventually fatigue so much that it is unstable and too flexible? What are your thoughts on this? Thanks Craig

The single biggest factor on determining price on an airplane is time on the engines. And how much time or cycles remain before maintenance or replacement is needed. What makes the aircraft so relatively low priced is that it has old, thirsty high time engines that are getting harder to find parts for. And the avionics are dated. What this aircraft is a candidate for is a rejuvenation. New interior, avionics and some new Williams turbofans and it is set for another 30 years of service. You will get an airplane with nearly the same capability as a new build for about half the price.

MIKE - Please, you have GOT to check some basic facts against online aircraft performance databases (to save yourself from saying some very basic mistakes). Try risingup dot com, or simply search for "Aircraft performance database"... FYI - early citations burned about 160 GPH PER SIDE at cruise. If you were burning 200 gallons TOTAL, then you had it pulled WAY back on power settings. NBAA IFR range is 1064 nm, cruise is 348 knots
