It's my understanding the King Airs are being replaced by the Phenom and the Beechjet is staying since it's owned by the Purdue Research Foundation.
One of my professors said that everyone in the program would get 10 hours in the jet, and maybe a type rating out of the deal. He seemed pleased with the transaction. I got out of the program earlier this year, and switched to aviation management, so I won't get any time in any of the new planes.....
good luck with cirrus, they are not a good trainer. they are not built for the training environment.

Since Purdue is a public school, they cannot up their flight costs for a few years. They can only increase the flight fees at an increment equal to that of tuition. That means that for the next 3-4 years, flying the Cirrus will be at the same price for the students as the Warriors. They won't be able to jack up the flight fees for awhile to offset the new fleet.

Next fall. If you thought it hit the fan when they were soloing in the Pipers, hold on tight for the Cirri fleet. It'll be interesting. You'll miss it amd!
