tires are RA-1s.... and thats 1600 bucks one way, no traffic, no crew fees, no atc delays etc. More realistically, I flew some people from NY to BWI round trip for one day... it ended up costing them 10,000 bucks.
But this is one of the most expensive jets to charter. some others are much less.

After talking to Ross and Ryan yesterday, I'm going to look into making it up there, even if it means going up on Saturday morning. It sounds pretty cool.
