“My experience with corporate/business jets is limited to the few times I have travelled with some friends in their aircraft. I think that corporate jets are great. Today in the aircraft building business, either you are at the top of the game or you are not, be it a Gulfstream, a Global Express, a Falcon, and Embraer, etc. They are all absolutely great. I saw one of these new Embraers which has twin engines on the wings as a corporate jet. It seemed to be extremely beautiful aircraft, sort of like a small A320.”
