I would be in also....I still would like a 10-15 seat jet built in the last 10 years or less....I do not think I would go for a 1968 Lear 23/24 six seat......And I want 2 pilots, not a 1 pilot Citation....Let's go!

I'll be honest. My first thought is to try for a smaller aircraft, hoping that I won't have too much trouble getting at least 4 other folks (and me) on the inaugural flight.
However, if I can do this in conjunction with an FT "do" and we get enough willing (paying) participants, I'd be happy to get a larger aircraft. It would be neat to have "our" cabin attendant serving champagne to us at 30,000 ft, even on a flight to nowhere.
The main issue will be payment. I'd need payment up front in order to secure the aircraft. I also would probably not be able to make refunds in the event someone cancels, since we still need all of the funds to cover the charter cost. Of course, if someone thinks they can come up with a sponsor or another way to cover the costs, I'm all ears.
After I make some calls, send some emails and perhaps make a site inspection, I'll post an update.
