Cirrus Vision SF50

Citation, last I saw, wasn't a VLJ. I had thought they'd giving up on certifying it under the vlj part 23 exemption. But Cessna does most of their stuff in house, I wasn't terribly involved in their stuff unless it was built by Ham Stand. Old Billy Martin was a nut about in house EMI.

Nope, I'm fairly sure the C510 is a Part 23 airplane. Cessna marketing will try to tell you it isn't a VLJ, but when compared to the other VLJ's, its very similar. I suppose you could also lump the Phenom 100 into the mix, but Embraer seemed to take a different approach to the whole game, sort of similar to Cessna.

Yeah everyone has been saying Phenom and Mustang were guys who jumped in the VLJ market, then bailed out when they realized there was no market, and just made a real plane. Hehe. I'll have to ask a few old colleagues.
