Considering that price list is three years old, are they still in business?

I saw an article where the flight test center at Edwards AFB did some extensive testing with them and they are being used by the Iraqi AF for trainers and surveillance platforms.  Yes, they are still very much in business.  He did apologize for some of the dates on his site.   Looks like a brand new CA10XL, IFR, with full glass runs about $400K.  Thats also to have them build it.  Delivered, with pilot training.

It looks like when the Iraqi's first got them, the Iraqi AF assembled them by themselves with no assistance and put them together wrong and killed some people.  So the USAF took them apart and rebuilt them at Edwards.  Ive read a lot about them.  I was looking to see if anyone has had any direct experience with them vs a bunch of speculation and the potential for a uniform thread! >:D
