G200 or Galaxy

[LJ45]

I see lots of G-200's for sale...what is up with that aircraft?

 

[Gulfstream 200]

do a search under G200 or Galaxy.

I would say "dispatch reliability" may have something to do with it. I know for a fact more than a few were given back for purchase price towards a real Gulfstream...and others were/are in litigation - like drop the thing off at love field and leave it to the lawyers litigation.

IMHO and experience the A/C has some good qualities. Decent performance, roomy cabin for a midsize aircraft (err.. "super" midsize, sorry)

If it has some reliability it may be a very capable domestic aircraft - "If" being the key word.

Big issue was in the begining was the only folks who knew how to work on it werein Dallas. Still not many svc centers around for it.. Had a ton of computer problems..Major Fadec, minor fadec, etc. Bad door design..(got great pictures of a fed that really screwed one up somewhere on this hard drive). The plus side was a very comfortable and fun airplane to fly. One of the quietest planes I've been in. All the sales hype and no payoff. Like most others cant do all the above M.85, FL450, etcWeight was the monster issue, comletion was a nightmare ended up wayyyyyy overweight. They claimed Chicago-Paris. full fuel and we were at MGW. So hence no pax...also to do it you had to go at .74 or less. fun huh. and no autothrottle in NAT TRAK is a pain.
Dont want to scare you off--nice plane but you can do better----

NetJets requirements have caused Gulfstream to put the Galaxy on a diet to insure it's trans-Atlantic capabilities...

The big G has reduced NetJets' G200 BOW by 400 lbs.
