That is nice plane. When I heard Cessna, I was thinking it was the typical type I see flying around here. That looks corporate to my non pilot eye.

Initial climb, lots of fuel
It is a nice bird. It's used for a mix of things: Rental (such as family or business trips), certainly some private ownership. It's on the pricy side of what most can afford, but is within reach of folks not too far above that. It's used by some corporations, probably ones that are on the smaller side but just big enough to have a corporate aircraft and can actually justify a need for one. A lot are used by charter companies and for air taxi or even scheduled air service in outlying areas.

A toddler cried non-stop during a flight. Two strangers locked her in the bathroom

“We won’t let you out unless you stop crying,” a woman sitting on the toilet told the toddler as she struggled out of the adult’s lap and reached for the door, according to the video posted on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok.

As the girl stopped crying, the woman filming the video picked her up and told her: “If you make any noise again, we’ll come back (to the bathroom).”

CAGW is getting catastrophic!
Horrible: https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local...024-was-the-earths-hottest-on-record/3411177/
June, July and August comprise "Meteorological Summer" – and this summer was the hottest on record for Fort Lauderdale, Phoenix, Europe (where we just had the Olympics), and for the entire planet.

In fact, Earth just broke the record that was set one year ago during the summer of 2023. We’ve now had 540 straight above-normal months for Earth and there’s a 95% chance 2024 will be even hotter than the record-setting 2023.
