...train taking more than four hours-and the tiresome 200-km road trip lasting almost as long, depending on traffic conditions-the new, thrice-daily airborne hop, at just 45 minutes, will have you on the beach quicker than you can say, "Make mine a Singha." The single-propeller Cessna service-seating up to 12 passengers at a time-has been launched by Siam General Aviation (sga.aero) in conjunction with several Hua Hin hotels, but you don't have to be a guest at a participating property to use it.

...Others followed. On Sept. 30, an Australian-registered Cessna Citation jet made a secret - and illegal - landing at the decommissioned Aropa airport near Arawa. Aboard was an Australian associate of Musingku, Jeff Richards, his British security advisor, James Nesbitt, and another businessman, Tom Wavik, who is reported to hold an Australian passport.

...barrage of Aaliyah imagery and shout-outs is to recognize any social injustice that may have led to the loss. But the circumstances of Aaliyah’s death, unlike those of Biggie or Kurt Cobain, can hardly be regarded as a teachable moment. The singer was aboard a Cessna passenger plane in the course of a Bahamas music video shoot, when the plane crashed into the ocean, killing all of its passengers. No grand social force appears to have contributed to the death of Aaliyah, and the only potential message to be taken home from this event...

Cirrus is not just taking on Cessna at home. The manufacturer sold its 100th plane in Europe last May, bringing to $27 million Cirrus' revenues there. (That month the company also sold its first plane to a Russian customer, who requested extra tires, spark plugs and chewing gum.) As in the domestic market, plane owners overseas act as an auxiliary sales force. At the company's celebration of its 100th European sale in June, more than two-thirds of Cirrus' European owners flew their planes in to meet the others...
