I noticed on FlightAware that a Cessna Citation X flew into Salem today, and the operator was Gama Aviation, doing business as Wheels Up Aviation, a private membership-based, on-demand charter company. When they were first founded, Wheels Up operated a fleet of Beechcraft King Air 350i turboprops and Cessna Citation Excel/XLS jets. In 2018, Wheels Up added the Cessna Citation X to their fleet, allowing them to operate coast-to-coast flights in the U.S. Having already seen one of their standard King Airs and a Citation Excel, I knew I had to chase down Wheels Up Aviation's Citation Xs, still one of the fastest civil aircraft.

| Formerly N941QS with NetJets. I'll need to keep an eye out for Wheels Up's King Airs that are painted in different colors signifying their support for different causes! |
