Challenger 300

[G100driver]

For me the real Gulfstreams are the ones that are built like tanks, over-winged, and over-powered - the G1159's and the GIV/GV and their derivatives: the G300/G400/G450/G500/G550.

Agreed ... the G-200 is nothing more than an Astra (read: failure) with a large cabin and big engines.

Re: Re: GV

It was sitting on the ramp at EDDW, Bremen Germany, emerging from the mists as the sun burned off the early morning fog. I thought it looked like a Falcon 20 that had failed tragically at Jenny Craig.

GV

Ha! Good one...Remember Bill (?) Lear, creator of the challenger, called it "Fat Albert" after Canadair took over the design and widened the fuselage. I read somewhere that the original Lear Challenger design somewhat resembled what the CH300 looks like today.


The Astra looks wierd...and the G200 looks like a pregnant Astra.
