| Re: Cool Story - Corporate Jet Owner Thats awesome. I'd hope the guys I fly for would do the same thing in a situation like that. But I do have to ask if the toilet is an approved seat in that Citation. I know its not in our Lear, and I certainly wouldn't want it being published in a newspaper if we were to carry someone in an unapproved seat. |

| Re: Cool Story - Corporate Jet Owner The lav seat in that Citation is belted and approved for pax carrying. There is a padded seat that flips down over the lav. Not the most luxurious seat in the house, sitting sidways in the tail with no windows, but it's still probably more comfortable than middle seat in an airliner.

| Re: Cool Story - Corporate Jet Owner Corporate America is more generous than people realize. Thanks to the generosity of 530 of America's finest corporations, Corporate Angel Network has arranged more than 25,000 flights for cancer patients since being founded in 1981. Over 50 of those corporations are in the top 100 of the Forbes 500. Yes, most are scheduled flights carrying corporate officers, but some aren't. This story is another fine example of people taking care of each other, and that is beautiful. The Citation also has a nice little floor length curtian that can be pulled around that lav seat for when you just want some private time.

| Re: Cool Story - Corporate Jet Owner That is a cool story! I missed it in my hometown paper. Musco Lighting is an interesting Iowa-based company: http://www.musco.com/ If you watch sports on TV, you've seen their work. They donated equipment to light up the WTC site post-Sept 11. They're a stand-up operation.

| Re: Cool Story - Corporate Jet Owner WOW, they got 9 people and got them to Moline on that thing? I don't know anything about the Citation, but they must've been on fumes when they got to moline, lol Edit: and by saying "on fumes" I mean somewhere around their 45 min reserve...
