CitationAir recalls furloughed pilots plus adds C750 to its fleet.
Are the engines oversized or is the cabin undersized?
I’ve always thought that jet had a large set of B*lls.
Deef that bad boy does Mach .92 it’s got the beef.
I’ve sat in one but never flown in one. My buddys dad use to wrench on one in PDX

Tugboat Swift, (Mohawk Marine) barging crippled Cessna Citation X Jet N750WM to Connecticut, via the Verrazano-Narrows in New York. The aircraft had suffered a damaged nose gear while landing at JFK a couple of months ago. Supposedly the aircraft as airworthy as is, and could’ve flown to CT for further repairs, but the gear would’ve had to remain down during the entire flight. Apparently permission was denied, (according to sources) and hence we see the towing operation here. August, 2008. from T. Turner

With 300 plus aircraft in service, it has an accident free record!
Only aircraft not in service, is the Venezuelan seized C750 from Portugal with cocaine, as in service with the Venezuelan military for awhile, but now in storage.
Talking about N750WM, the registration is still assigned but the plane’s last flight was into JFK in April 2008, most likely the accident flight. Any idea what the plane’s status is?
N750WM, good question,
Probable cause; The co-pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll. Contributing to the accident was a loss of system A hydraulic fluid for undetermined reasons and the flight crew’s failure to follow the checklist sequence.
