*Citation Mustang CE-510*	The new Citation Mustang is a breakthrough combination of power, speed and true jet affordability. State-of-the-art engines, rated at 1,460 pounds of thrust each, deliver speeds of up to 340 kts (391 mph) and climbs to 41,000 feet, where turboprops simply cannot follow.
*Dassault Falcon DA-50*	The Dassault Falcon 50 is a French super mid-sized, long-range corporate jet, unique in the corporate jet world for its three jet engine layout. It is essentially a development of the earlier Falcon 20 with a third engine. The Falcon 50 was later replaced by the Falcon 50EX, still currently in production. The Falcon 50EX features improved engines and other enhancements to give further range improvements to an already long-legged jet. It remains a very popular corporate jet for its long-range, luxury, and for the recognition of status for owning a fast three-engined jet. Falcon 50 type rating includes the Falcon 50, Falcon 50 EX, Falcon 900, Falcon 900EX
*Citation VII (CE-650)*	The Citation VII features a number of improvements over the Citation VI including more powerful engines for improved hot and high performance. The first Citation VII prototype flew in February 1991 and the type was certificated in January 1992.
*Citation CE-525*	The Cessna Citation CE525 CJ1 has been called the aircraft of choice for short range business jet charter. The CE525 CJ1 is ideal for small companies and individuals looking for an economical private jet for short-range missions, usually a little over one hour. The state-of-art avionics enables this aircraft to do shorter range trips smoothly at reasonably priced rates. The CE-525 Type rating covers the CJ, CJ1, CJ2, CJ3, CJ1+, CJ2+, and CJ3+.
*Citation CE-500*	The popular Citation and Citation I pioneered the entry level light business jet market, and their success formed the basis for the world's largest family of corporate jets. Features of the Citation I were higher weights, JT15D1A engines and an increased wing span. The Citation CE-500 type rating covers the straight Citation, I, ISP, II, IISP, S/II V, Ultra, Bravo, and Encore.
LR-Jet	As one of the earliest business jets to go into widespread use, the Learjet (LR-Jet) has been a prominent aircraft featured in both television and cinema. Unmistakable beauties, Learjet (LR-Jet) aircraft are the ultimate runway models, famed for their ramp appeal and admired for their constant evolution in design and performance. Each introduction of a new Bombardier Learjet (LR-Jet) invites you to fasten your cufflinks, as it rekindles the flame of Bill Lear's aviation revolution and once again redefines and raises the expectations of leaders and business executives worldwide. When you're pursuing a career move to a great company, you expect a challenging, rewarding work assignment. You also want quality health, financial and other benefits.

Bombardier today announced that its next-generation Challenger 605 widebody business jet entered service in late January with Russell Aviation Leasing Inc., amidst the fanfare of an employee delivery ceremony in Montreal. Russell Aviation is leasing the aircraft to Bombardier to be used as its demonstrator for 2007. “This is a great occasion for Russell Aviation. The Challenger 605 jet is our fifth aircraft purchase from Bombardier and we look forward to keep strengthening our relationship with the manufacturer,” said Jim Hausch, of Russell Aviation Inc. “The aircraft looks fantastic. The cabin is very spacious and comfortable, and it flies like a dream. We’re convinced this jet is a winner.” All the new features available aboard the widebody Challenger 605 jet are present in this first aircraft, including the widest stand-up cabin of any large-category business jet available today. It is equipped with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite that supports real-time satellite graphical weather and electronic charts to enhance situational awareness and reduce pilot workload, and features a state-of-the-art Ethernet-based Cabin Electronic System.
