| I was talking recently with someone who said that their company needs
| to send a few (5-6) people to do some work in Angola from Atlanta and
| complained about the difficulty of flying there commercially. This
| made me curious about what it would take to do this in a private jet.
| I asked my CFII this question (he is type rated for the Citation I)
| and his answer was "Not in this Citation; it doesn't have the range."
| He did say that a friend delivered a Citation I to South Africa solo
| but it took him three days to get there. He's never personally flown
| to Africa so while he said he'd look into it I thought I'd ask here as
| someone might actually know.
|
| I am going to assume that there is some sweet spot on the range-speed-
| time-cost considerations based upon whatever the longest leg would
| have to be for various routes and the cost/time involved with stopping
| to refuel but I don't know much about this kind of aircraft, certainly
| not enough to plan a trip.
|
| I've never thought much about international flight so I am very
| curious to see the suggestions for a flight like this.
|
|
| not sure what you're asking here.
|
| What kind of bizjet can do it?
| Most could do it with a stop or tow and some could do it direct...

You're not sure of a lot of things.
