@@HometownPilot he flys right seat of one out of Chicago area. He was just in Score last month. That and Turks Caicos islands. I asked him about recording in the cockpit. He said captain would have something to say plus FAA 135 ops are strict on it, that and the owners probably wouldn’t like it much either. Love your videos !
I flew a X for many years and it was the best airplane of my career. Scottsdale was one of my favorite RONs. It's one of the few places I miss in my 40 Corporate career.
More like contact NASA on departure... wow. Also gives a new meaning to the phrase "see ya" watching that thing absolutely dominate gravity. Great video!
@@HometownPilot Yes and no. The choice was made to make it fast but not efficient, i.e. high swept wing and overpowered. It was just a design choice nothing revolutionary here.
@@12345fowler however, Cessna made a bit of a gamble with the X just like Boeing did with the 747. Some of the concepts in the X were cutting edge and at the time was the fastest civilian aircraft at cruise speed (Not including the Concorde of course). High speed comes with significant cost. Apparently time is worth more than money. It was my company’s best seller for years. In the end, high performance just becomes more and more expensive.
I was holding short of the rwy behind one of these today. The rate of climb is just insane to watch in person. It's literally lake a rocket. Truly an amazing machine! I remember thinking what pride that captain must have. Made me feel like a loser in the 172 lol. One day!
@@HometownPilot sad to hear on Lear Jet. Was talking to pilots on how a motor less glider climbed to 90,000 feet using natural mountain wave lift to set new world record, they are aiming for 10O,000 feet plus. the Lear Jet pilots were amazed a glider with no engine can climb and can fly so high, higher then they can fly. Showed them the youtube videos of there flights. Also showed them an RC hand launched glider using kinetic soaring on a ridge in California recently set a world speed record of over 500mph flying in a tight circle pulling well over 11g's excelerating from hand launch to over 50Omph in a few minutes, hard to even see the glider as rushes / whooshes by in a tight circle not bad for an RC glider hand launched, they are aiming to beat the sound barrier... Had a fun conversation.
Would've loved to be a fly on the wall for that discussion lol. Flying gliders seems like a TON of fun, but i would rather have an engine onboard (just in case). If you have those videos on hand, would love to see them too!
I thought it was a little low too. The site i got the info from said that it's the "average price for new or used" (its actually gone up since the time I uploaded this) . A new Citation X would definitely be more in the $24M range. Here is where I got the info from: www.globalair.com/aircraft-for-sale/Specifications?specid=191
I was shocked when i saw what some of these older X's were going for. Like many have said, you think these beauties would go for $24M instead of $2.4M.
I haven't been able to fly on an X yet (unfortunately), but from what I've heard the actual ride isn't bad but the cabin is a bit cramped. Could be considered a little uncomfortable from the standpoint of the X being used for long range flights. It's also one of the reasons why it's "cheaper" than some other jets in its category since those aircraft have more spacious cabins, but are a little slower when compared.
What would you say is the price per hour. Looked it up on the internet and that was around 1700 dollars. How can that be?😂 I think more realistic is it around 3-4k an hour no? Correct me if I’m wrong. Btw super nice videos I enjoy them a lot!👍
$1,700/hr would be an AMAZING DEAL! Typically, the price per hour to charter is around $5,500 to $6,500. Check out this link for more information on the X: www.aircharteradvisors.com/cessna-citation-x-10/
You are right, someone else called this out as well. I got the information from the website below where the price listed ($2.4M) was the average for new and used Citation X. A new(er) Citation X would definitely be in the $24M range. Source: www.globalair.com/aircraft-for-sale/Specifications?specid=191
You're definitely right when it comes to the price of a brand new Citation X. However, Textron discontinued the model in 2012 and most X's value dropped. At the time of making this video, you could find a used X for $2.3M to $3.2M, however its value as increased recently. Thanks for watching Glen!
Haha I definitely posted the lower, used end of the Citation X spectrum. However, if you googled citation x for sale, you might be surprised at how "affordable" they can be compared to what else is on the market
Lol it might surprise you how "affordable" a private jet that can almost break the sound barrier can be New = $23M Average (Used) = $3.8M www.controller.com/listings/for-sale/cessna/citation-x/aircraft
Bezos has a Gulfstream G650, one of the fastest, longest range business jets you can buy. The interior is like a mini mansion and it has all the bells and whistles you can think of. The Cessna Citation X, while very fast, is extremely expensive to maintain and are not very efficient. Plus the interior can be a bit cramped. The X's value has gone down quite a bit recently with newer, more advanced aircraft on the market, but you used be able to buy these new for $24M.
@@HometownPilot I figured it was rains like those I just can't see the 98% price increase. That Ciatation still looks better in my opinion. Always wanted to ride in one.
@@HometownPilot Yep ! Ha ha ha! That was a beautiful incline, tho! I LOVE this stuff !! But I probably would've FREAKED OUT had I been in that Cockpit!
I know, kinda shocking to hear what Citation X's go for. The average has gone up recently - more around $3.5M - $4M - however, I've learned the reason for the X being cheaper than other long range jets is its extremely expensive to operate. You don't really see the speed difference on shorter hops, and it's not the most comfortable ride.
@@HometownPilot average price for a Citation X is 24 Millions, not 2.4 millions. Obviously that’s a typo. I was being ironic. Used market price is anywhere between 14 millions and 18 millions.
@@okcorralaviation2368 "Today, pre-owned Cessna 750 Citation models are listed with a price of between $2,995,000 and $4,995,000." www.aircharteradvisors.com/cessna-citation-x-10/ The price I included in the video was the average of the available jets in the market at the time of upload. Obviously, the price will differ from jet to jet, based on the year and upgrades, but you usually will not find a used Citation X that exceeds $10M (they stopped making them in 2018)
