Chris

the AUX is the iPod, the Aux/Rear is the DVD Entertainment..

when you select (using the iDrive knob) that screen, you can then select a menu to decide what that screen displaces... either a trip computer, NAV (various modes), or a few other items.. its' really nice.

I know what an MD-11 is, but not a CE750....? Did you switch from cargo?

except for the 1st picture there which is of an ATR-72 I flew at ASA 10 years ago, the rest are of the Cessna Citation 750, aka, Citation X.. worlds fastest business jet, and on of the few biz jets that is faster than aircraft like the MD-11 and 747..

And yea, I didn't care for the cargo dog lifestyle, even if flying the MD was fun.. It was fun to see, Shanghai, Bombay, Channai, Dubai, Milan, Istanbul, etc.. but I went back to a flying contract on the Citation X mostly domestic, and mostly short trips.

oh, ok, gotcha now. Never heard of other Citations besides the X. Awesome we have the same interests!
(Funny that you should mention you flew for ASA, that was one of the airlines I vowed I would never fly due to their history of parts randomly coming off their planes.)

At the time, it was between them and COEX, and I didn't care for the interview process at Coex. Plus, in reality, the problem with the parts wasn't ASA, it was the EMB-120 and the Hamilton Standard prop governors. I actually liked working for ASA and living in ATL.

ok I see. And what made you decide to go with Gemini and cargo instead of moving up w/ ASA and eventually into Delta? What are you certified to fly?

Not only the E73 is great choice, his sedan as well. We have the same taste except mine are W210 and E53 :-)
