Dang, I didn't even hear about the CJ4...I guess I'm a few weeks behind.

I'll be there. Boss is going down for a business meeting and he wants me to "tag along".

I'll be there with one of my aviation division employes and the President and COO at a minimum. If anyone wants to met up down there for a drink or just to say hello, call me from there or about a week in advance. That would be pretty cool.

You guys get the specs on that CJ4 yet?
We were sent them a couple weeks ago and I think it'll be a nice plane. Expensive, but it will definitely sell.
Some notable additions:
Single point refueling
Two MFD's
Standard LCD's in cabin for DVD playback
Movement of anti-icing controls
FMS will be above throttles now
Up to 8 passengers in back
Wing Sweep
3400 lbs of thrust per side
EDM (emergency decent mode)
Two evaporators up front
Two alternators allows for running all avionics in case of dual generator failure
Electrically heated windows (yay, the bleed air sucked)
Less Windows (5 per side)
2 million more plus escalators and options = 8.5 million
Should be a great plane

Damn, kinda pricey, but it does sound like a nice plane. SPR will be nice too. Did it say anything about speeds, payload, etc??

I currently fly right seat in the CJ3 and Cessna sent us the specs on the CJ4 trying to get us to buy it.
Sorry, forgot that stuff.
TAS 430 (I think), I do remember .77 mach though
1000 lbs payload with full fuel
1830 NBAA range
And you're right, it is a bit pricey. I'd rather get a new Lear for that price.

While I was reading the specs, I remember saying to the other pilot, "This plane is made for a fractional." Single point refueling, second MFD, and the movement of FMS so both 1 and 2 are right next to each other is what sold me on that idea. Plus it can carry a little bit more and goes faster.
Hopefully Cessna beats its own numbers like it did with the CJ3 and turn this plane into something great.
I think it is at 12.5 degrees. I was hoping they were going to get rid of the boots on the tail because they're flat out ugly. But they're still there
Maybe I wasn't being clear. It hasn't been formally announced, so you probably won't see anything online. Maybe there is, but I haven't seen one. The specs I saw were the ones they personally sent our flight department trying to get us to prebuy before announcement.
