G150 - Initial Impressions?

I've got a mark on my head from the low door clearance.

Sheesh you guys. It's a small, mid-cabin jet. What do you expect?

Well...questions asked, questions answered.

What do you expect?

I saw the Flying Mag in the airport and the Pro Line 21 with the huge screens looks nice (kinda like the CL300). The cabin looks more spacious than the G100 cabin but it doesn't look as comfortable as other mid-sized jets out there. Maybe it is a little wider (which is nice). I think the Sovereign cabin is pretty comfortable having sat in one recently - but that's only my opinion.

Looks like the pilots would be happy though in that bird - a real nice cockpit if you get the Wx options, etc.

We have a G150. It has a rear CG issue (can't carry full fuel and no pax), and has some anti-ice/deice problems. It flies much better than the G100, and needs < 5000 of runway to go coast to coast with two pax. I'd recommend we purchased another one if we had the need.

Did they get rid of the tiller in the G150? I remember taxiing a WW and it felt like riding down a hill on a shopping cart with a wobbly wheel, and that was a good day.

What do you think about the avionics package? Is it reliably West Coast-Hawaii capable? Also, any idea on how many have been ordered in the US? I know Netjets cancelled a big order. Nice article in Flying.

How often you gonna fly 2500nm with no pax??

Did NetJets cancel the whole order? I was searching for news on this and could not find anything.

Deicing boots on a Jet ?
That brings back Navajoe memories best left suppressed...
