Maintenance costs ended up being 2x what we projected for the Hawker, which was a little disheartening. We didn't have a maintenance program either so it was all out of pocket.

Edit: We just sold it in December.

Yikes! Maintenance out of pocket is a tough pill to swallow.
Slightly smaller machine, but well worth a look in the same class: Lear 60. Great machine for the money right now. Awesome performance, very reasonable TCO.
There's still nothing like a G though. They are such nice machines through and through.

I've supplied Lista in two local company hangars. One with Hawkers and the other with G's.

The Hawkers are used to fly company employees versus commercial flights. Their ROI was the fact they were spending $1MM per month on commercial flight and hotel stays. The Hawkers are around $1600 per hour to operate. The planes are paying for themselves.

Oh, and the hangar with the G's next door....it's used to fly the CEO wherever he wants to go. Who cares about ROI when you're a baller.

How much to just get up in the air and listen to that G6 song a few times?

CEO... rhymes with Baller... rhymes with Gulfstream.
