This is the airplane we brought back to Chino California from Bournemouth England. 20 hours and 7 fuel stops flying mostly at 43,000 feet and $4,500 for 100 gallons deicing fluid in Keflavik Iceland.

That sounds like a superb journey.
That sounds like a lot of deicing fluid.

The CJ is a nice machine. Money well spent for a de-ice. They don't fly too well with iced over surfaces.

Fascinating! Looks like a nice plane to fly back, and quite interesting about the deicing fluid. I can imagine you needed that.
