A family friend has one, and on his trips to Europe, he often toys with the speed of sound with a little assistance from the jet stream

Just for the sake of clarification...there is the Citation X and then there is the newly updated Citation Ten.

Two similar planes, but the Ten comes with improved engines, winglets, and I believe avionics.

From wikipedia:

In 2010, Cessna initiated a major update of the aircraft, the Citation Ten, which includes upgraded AE3007C2 engines with new fans, Garmin G5000 flight displays with three 14 inch screens and a heads-up display. The elliptical winglets that were available as an aftermarket option on the Citation X will become standard, and a stretch of 38 cm will improve passenger comfort. Due to a 1.4% improvement in Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) and increased thrust, Cessna is advertising an increase in payload of 97 kg, an increase in cruise speed at FL490 from 460 to 479 knots, and a range increase of 190 nmi (352 km). First flight was completed on January 17, 2012

Haha, very cool, fastest civilian aircraft!

Thanks for the sharing, great pictures.
