Cessna Reveals "Cirrus Killer"

The Bonanza is nearing a million and the Baron cost more
than a Eclipse 500. Do you think that might be why Raytheon
is considering selling Beechcraft?

This answer really belongs in the "Why GA Is Dying" thread.

$4+ for 100LL isn't helping, but typically the people that can afford a
Bonanza or Baron can deal with the cost of fuel. BTW, the G58 Baron
goes around 1.2M while the Eclipse is 1.45M. Kinda makes you wonder
who's buying Beech's piston twins?

Particularly when you look at speed and maintenance costs
per mile.

Probably those people who won lifes lottery and fly their own +$1M aircraft.

Certainly not your average hourly wage earner such

There's a hell of a lot of people, unlike yourself, that created businesses,
thus making much more $$$ than you and who use them for business, thus
garnering tax deductions whilst enjoying their $500K, and even more,
aircraft.

Maybe you should buy another life's lottery ticket?

And neither are turbo'ed, sao they get to ride down in the low altitude
turbulence...

Do you think that might be why Raytheon
is considering selling Beechcraft?

With their overhead, I wonder how much that affects the prices?

All the guys buying Cirrus SR22s - when there is a much lower cost
alternative available in the form of the SR20.

Jim,

Cessna is building a Cirrus killer, not a Bonanza killer. The reason is
that Bonanzas practically don't sell new.

Kingfish,

Next to nobody. Look at the numbers.

I think Raytheon sees a lot of liability for the investment.
