I'm not sure what it was.. but it was a jet that looked about the size of a cessna caravan. Well, smaller than a Learjet 45 anyways. I can't really give much of a description of it except that it was painted mostly white with blue stripes down the sides I think. The wings looked kind of folded back like a 'V'.
Any idea of what it could have been?

Well, a Citation is bigger than a Caravan and smaller than a Lear 45. Possibly an Eclipse 500?

Actually the Starship is turbo-prop only, there is a similar looking airplane called the Piaggo Avanti that looks a lot like the Starship.

Piaggio makes the Avanti 8) (Seriously,Piaggio is the company.

and if it's smaller than a Lear 45 and had sweptback wings, perhaps it was a Falcon 10. Roll Eyes

.....so I loaded up the plane and moved to Middle-EEEE..........OIL..that is......

I just had a look at the Cessna Citation on their website. It did look quite a bit like that. Might have been it. Anybody know of an aircraft addon of this jet for fs2004? It looks like it would be fun to fly. Grin

Welp, ya gotta lotta choices there. There's the early Citations 500-550, the 3&7, the Excel, the CJ, the CJII, the Mustang, and the Mack Daddy..... the Citation 10. And there's a few oddballs in the Citation line I missed, but there all very different. The 500 and 550 barely break 360IAS at altitude, and the 10, went over Mach 1 Shocked

during testing, and is rated for .96 normal! Wink
