Citation jets have made a mark and earned a great reputation in the aviation industry for being reliable and safe. I was impressed to learn that 3 of the best selling business jets in history are Citation models. There are around 5,000 Citations in the skies today and they continue to outsell many rivals. There seems to be a Citation that’s right for any use ranging from the lightweight Mustang, to the large cabin, ocean crossing Columbus model.
The Citation Mustang is a top-notch entry level aircraft available at an accessible price. It makes jet ownership an affordable reality rather than a distant dream. The Mustang is equipped with spacious seat, an impressive top speed, and a competitive range for its size. On top of that, it costs only a fraction of the price of others and it boasts the reliability of a Cessna. It’s one of the better buys I’ve seen. The Mustang is certified for a single pilot and comes loaded with the same avionics system as many other Cessna single engine aircraft.
The Citation X is the fastest non-military air craft in the skies today and reaches a top speed of nearly Mach .92! It is a long range medium class aircraft made to get you to your destination quickly and in absolute comfort. The X is graced with 2 powerful Rolls-Royce engines and an incredibly aerodynamic design. Since 1996, when the first aircraft was delivered to pro-golfer Arnold Palmer, Citation X jets have logged more air miles than nearly any other business aircraft.
The Citation Columbus lets you travel the globe like no other jet. It’s powerful, comfortable, and engineered with the most advanced technology of any Citation ever manufactured. Not only is it incredibly fast, it also is astoundingly fuel efficient and a great buy the eco-conscious owner. With fuel prices the way they are, that sounds like a welcome improvement to me. Its 4,000 mile range means you can span entire continents on a whim and it’s flexible enough changing international destinations at a moments notice. And the Columbus’ Rockwell Collins avionics and ceiling of 45,000 feet will keep you at ease knowing you’ll be far out of range of adverse weather or mid-air congestion.
The Mustang, the X, and the Columbus are just a few of the models that make up the Citation family. Other top-quality Citation aircraft I’ve hear dgood things about include: Citation CJ1+, Citation CJ2+, Citation CJ3, Citation CJ4, Citation Encore+, Citation XLS+, and Citation Sovereign. Whatever your needs or budget, there is a Citation aircraft model that is right for you and your business.
