This is all fine and dandy, but the WSofD blows the doors off this "Gulfstream" knockoff! FBW......WSofD is FBW; it's called cables which is the way of the future.

BTW, where is our buddy WSofD Driver?

Unless one of you can get me a F7X job with East Coast pay but in the Midwest, I'm locked into training in SAV for the rest of my life...

At least they have a wide variety of good restaurants.TC

Get in line! I'm still looking for the King Air job in Iowa with East/West Coast G-V/GLEX/BBJ Pay!

Tuto Bene's closed. Chi Chi's closed (never liked them anyway). Red Lobster coming soon (not worth it in my book) and a Cheeseburger In Paradise opening soon. There is some pizza joint there, though I've never been. However, get away from the hotel and there are some great italian places. I know how to get there but don't remember their names. Of course, let us not forget Ruth Cris in Hoboken. Not italian indeed, but always worth a mention!

BTW - say hi to George for me.

Geeze, rereading this makes me think I spend WAY to much time in TEB!

Great post GVFlyer!
We have two owners who are looking seriously at the 7X and G500. The GLEX is in last place....but I will believe all of the talk when an aircraft shows up on the ramp.

GLEX for sale...

You can pick up The Depots' GLEX, I just saw it for sale in a magazine, maybe a good deal, and an orange apron to boot!

Thanks, remember that the G500 is an "in-service" aircraft as opposed to a developmental aircraft that will have typical entry into service problems. Alternatively, (not that I'm recommending this!) you can get a a-heck-of-a-deal on a Global right now as Bombardier clears inventory (as well as management) prior to fielding the Global Express XRS.

Just got a notice today that the first 7X is out of the factory and nearing flight test. Six more in various stages on the factory line.

Won't be long gents!

Oh boy, I hope that was a Fruedian Slip and not a look into my future! (No offense to the Frax guys, I just don't wanna work that hard!)
