The two planes that are available are NOT both jets. One is a Cirrus SR-22, single-engine turbo-prop 4-seater.

I agree on Rob's comment about the flight dynamics; and, it is almost a necessity to have joystick (yoke) imput to fly with any skill whatsoever. Still pretty cool, nonetheless.

Sorry to nit-pick, but while the Cirrus SR-22 is not a jet, it is not a turbo-prop either. It has a turbo-charged piston engine.

The CR-22 is NOT a turbo-prop. It is a straight piston engine with a prop.
