No apology is necessary. It is lonely at the top, and having something else awesome in this world is welcome.

I have to admit it,,, the humility here is just,,,well,,,,,,,Awesome!!

pretty cool. Any discussion as to whether netjets will order the g650? Is it too early in the bad economic cycle to assume that? Anyone know how many outstanding orders currently for the g650?

Unless the augmented crew regulations change and allow us to fully exploit the range of the airplane, I doubt we'll see any.

Gulfstream is a bit vague on numbers but supposedly there are deposits down on well over 100 units.

I would argue they've owned the market since 1974. Nothing comes close to the performance of a Gulfstream.

Ever flown a Boeing?

With apologies to Fischman, this airplane is going to be AWESOME:

The economy may be in a ditch but at least one company is looking to the future and developing a product that will OWN the market for long-range corporate aircraft.

sounds great!

I think a boeing twin from JFK to Tokyo nonstop with 350 people has a little more wow factor. Gulfstream is nice, but.......

Just sayn

Can the boeing do that off a 6000 ft runway?
