G650 KIAD-LSGG in just under 7 hrs, not too shabby.

I guess they brought a green plane over for a surprise visit to EBACE.

EBACE got 2 surprises...sweet!

Only Gulfstream could pull this off & send both the 280 & 650 to Geneva.
Perfect timing for the Big Bosses to check out the new birds and a better reason to enjoy EBACE a little more.

Flight plan shows 3800 nm. That's a 540kt block speed! Impressive.

Like their brother and sisters at Delta on the 121 side, they are a higher life-form.

We just have to learn to tolerate them, that's all....

Probably didn't even have to top it off.. Still waiting on my school date for initial. Wish the airplane would get certified so they can start training.

Thanks for making me chuckle a little bit this morning.
Great post.

I would hope not as they are advertising a 7,000 nm range.

You are NOT showing proper deference. The Elders in SAV are not amused.

not yet certified, I am afraid...

The G650 stayed less than 48hrs in Geneva. They must be busy with the certification process I guess.

I think the pressure to stay on schedule can rear it's ugly head in a number of ways....
