There's a feeling of great anticipation around Aviation West Charters and Angel MedFlight these days. Our Citation X jet is back from Cessna's service center in Wichita with an exciting new paint job and several modifications and is just a couple of weeks away from entering service for both business charter and air ambulance service. The first thing people will notice about our Citation X is its new livery, which features the familiar Aviation West Charters colors of gray and burgundy. The paint scheme, which features gradients, is striking to say the least. Brandon Kearns is the Operations Director at Aviation West Charters. "It's a very complex paint job. I think it shows the level of detail and dedication we have to our brand. Not only are we making sure we are delivering the best service but that our customers are receiving the most impressive service out there." Kearns talks about the Citation X used in a business charter configuration and imagines how it will impact the prospective customer. "Let's face it, if we're going to have a private jet show up to us, we want to have the coolest private jet show up for us, don't we? Kearns says the paint scheme is the one Cessna is using on the next generation Citation X's but Aviation West Charters/Angel MedFlight had added its own flare to it. In fact, Jeremy T. Freer, President and CEO of Angel MedFlight, conceptualized the jet’s new paint scheme. Aviation West Charters dba. Angel MedFlight acquired the Citation X in April and since then the aircraft has been getting a number of modifications including a refurbished interior. After the livery, the other most recognizable modification is the winglet package. The winglets actually increase the range of the aircraft anywhere from 200-300 miles. Kearns says the aircraft's time-to-climb "is about 20 minutes straight to flight level" at 45,000 feet "so (the pilots) can start seeing the higher speeds and get to the lower fuel burns a lot faster." The Citation X flies at Mach .92 which at around 700 mph is just shy of the sound barrier. It's safe to say the addition of the Citation X to our fleet of meticulously maintained aircraft is a game-changer. Kearns says having the world's fastest civilian jet give us faster response times. "When we're dealing with air ambulance and emergency medical transportation -- and in a lot of these cases it can be a lifesaving service -- time is of the essence and that's what this airplane really buys you, time." A patient being transported in the Citation X spends less time in the air and more time at the receiving facility for specialized medical care. "We can assure the highest level of care during the transport," says Kearns, "but ultimately the goal is to get the patient to their loved ones or to the next medical facility to receive the care that they need."
