My first JET flight coast to coast, successful

I bought an Eaglesoft Citation X a few months ago, and I eventually took it into the sky a few days ago, from JFK to Boston Logan, topped off then to Seattle Tacoma. Non stop, cruised at FL480 at 0.92 mach. Even with 65 kt head wind, I completed the trip in 3hours 45 min!!! Its the best Buzjet I have ever seen, so beautiful, graceful, handled like a beammer in sky 😂 😀

Damn! You went that high and fast with that jet? What's the service cealing and the maximum operating mach speed of that aircraft?

yes, at that alt no airline business running around you, you "look down upon" them 😂
0.92 mach is pretty much the top cruising speed, the service ceiling is FL520.
after I completd the coast-to-coast flight, there was still 29% fuel left in my tanks. Its designed to fly across the Atlantic Ocean......

FL480 at 0.92 mach -- WOW!! She's a rocket 😳

I gotta admit, 1500 pics of this baby made me think 'what's wrong with this guy' -- but... I take it all back Yes
The Citation X has unique features for this type of a/c and the more I look at the pics, the more I like here. I was looking for a pic of the panel and I found this in Andrew Herd's review:

I am sooo tempted ❤️

Whoa, that Biz jet sure would have some grunt! I believe that is the same model as what Steve Fossett broke a aviation world record in, if my memory serves me correctly. 😉

Congradulations on your successfull flight! 👍
