Falcon 50 to Eur with 7 pax= torture. Done it.


I have to agree, with six passengers they seemed to have no problems from the US to London, but seven would be pushing it.

Of course I didn't care how crowed they got in the back, I always had the same amount of room. :p
 
G-III (grandfathered)

They're cheap and getting cheaper all the time. And you'll be all spooled-up on Gulfstreams when it's time for the G-IV.

How true, back then I could go 7 hrs with only one pee break. I guess I am spoiled now with our own crew lav upfront. Don't even have to see the pax until destination.

We had a couple of trips from VNY-BGR-EGGW with six passengers in the 50EX, only real problem was finding enough space for the catering. (Big eaters. :p)

Now in the 900EX, with the foward lav, I never worried about drinking too much water.

The first sentence is why one might not want to buy one (lol)

BTW you can get a GIV in his price range now (under 7mil)
 
Hey G200,
you are a confusing person. Your screen name is G200 but it looks like you've flown every G but the 200. You mention Gulfstreams about 10 times yet you say that you're a Embraer Lineage Captain? Are you trying to confuse us?

I apologize for the confusion my brother, Yes I have logged some time in the ole' IAI-1126...and I have no comment. Its not a Gulfstream, its an aborted Astra...:)

Im a Grumman Guy - these beauties only come from Savannah and its all I will fly. I have the jacket, the hat, the flight bag, etc etc...I even hear they are making Gulfstream underoos - and I'm all over those! BTW - I only fly at FL510 and I take a lot of pictures of the HUD and the airshow because people dig that.

I keep in touch with all my fellow Grummanese down there in GA and I was instrumental in convincing them to keep the yoke in the Mighty G650. FBW or not I dont want any French pansy type sidestick, I want a big ole yoke with the Grumman logo lookin' at me for 15hrs in cruise. It reminds me how far I have come in life.

All this talk about the Silly SuperGlobal. I bet that thing will have sidesticks and wont have a prayer at out-turning an F/18 at FL510.
 
NJA, 2000 F2000 share, $700K + 2005 CX share, $700K. Problem solved.
Problem solved? You just put this guy and his co-workers out on the street since there is now no need for an in-house department. Nice. :rolleyes:
