    Yes, my inquiries indicate that most people don’t care about your optics and just want to know what kind of small aircraft you fly that can cruise at 43k.

    I didn't, but was there with my wife who did shoot. She shot well. Visited with a number of PF folks there!
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    Many business jets fly that high without pressurized cargo areas.

    I like learning, so I’d love a jet model number or type to look up!

    Edit: thanks for the breadcrumb…

    Found a reference for a Cessna Citation Excel

    Can cruise at 45,000 feet and unpressurized baggage! Was this one it?

    I’m no jet expert, but there are lots of models of Cessna Citations and most do not have pressurized cargo areas. I think the Citation X has pressurized cargo. I think some Learjets may have a mix of pressurized and unpressurized baggage compartments.

    Also mildly curious as to the answers you might get.

    Might suggest contacting manufacturer for cut sheet specs on devices.
