MS.760 Paris...

[jfrye01]

I've wondered about this neat little jet for a while...anyone flown one? How is the performance? Most importantly, how economical (or uneconomical) is it?

The Paris Jet? This is the least efficient airplane I have ever seen, loudest as well. 300 kts @ 150gph IIRC. You'd be better off with a Citation.

Ouch...maybe that's why they pop up for so little...that, and the fact they're 60 years old...

Yeah, the Turbomeca engines are centrifugal turbines many generations old. I know airports that have banned their operation due to noise.

Depends on your mission. Can't get a Citation with these options:

Armament

• Guns: Provision for 2× machine guns in nose
• Rockets: Racks for 4× 90 mm rockets
• Bombs: 2× 50 kg (110 lb) bombs
