Only problem with the Pilatus, is that one engine thing(you know, when you take off IFR out of Tahoe or Aspen). The Honda Jet is nice, but 3 + million goes along ways on a Citation or other jets that have more range and payload capacity. They both have pretty low operating cost though. Porsche has been partnering up with these shows all around so cal. No jet that I know of with the Porsche name.

Thanks guys.

I think that they placed the "&" in the wrong spot. (or I was just too hopeful for Porsche )

Isn't Sirrus also working on a Jet, and trying to keep it under $1,000,000?

Eclipse tried to, but it's over a mill now (well over), but nothing like Honda/Piper...

Sirrus? Who are they? Even did a search...

Sirius?

I passed on a PC-12 ride one time because I was tired and didn't want to get up early. Good thing because it wrecked on takeoff when the engine failed. Statistics only matter if your on the right side of them.

The Cirrus SR22 is already a doctor killer.....their proposed SJ50 single-engine jet would surpass it in killer status
