Citation TEN first flight

Postby Jayhawk Jake » Tue Jan 17, 2012 5:45 pm

I witnessed the first flight of the Citation TEN today. It was pretty neat; upon return for landing it made two low 190 kt passes then when landing the escort X prototype flew directly over us at maybe 300 ft.

I'm sure there will be a press release soon, I'll let you know

Man, you are lucky. Is the 10 like the X? I thought they were the same.

The TEN is a bigger, badder, faster version. From what I have heard from NBAA and Buisness Aviation its already a hit!

I'm wouldn't call it luck. The cabin is 15 inches longer, interior is all new, and avionics upgraded, and and it has winglets
