Great Picture of Steve Wynn's New Gulfstream G650 - Gorgeous Airplane...

[Heavy Set]

Wow! This is a great picture of the G650 and it really is impressive.

Nice paint job - I like the Chinese characters for flights to Macau and the design/shape of the cockpit windows. I am sure it has great ramp presence (important for big-time Chinese gamblers who want a free ride )...

Can this thing fly nonstop from Macau to Vegas? Did Wynn replace the BBJ with the G650?

Very impressive. On the downside, I am sure those pilots spend a lot of time away from home....

The BBJ is still wedged in Wynn's hangar.

It looks like the 650 replaced the 450 which has been re-numbered and, if I'm not mistaken, is now owned by the second-largest stockholder in the company.

And yes, the 650 will do Macau to Vegas. Standing on its head.

anyone know what it says on the tail? Is that the textual version of the lucky kitty?

Saw N711SW taxi off the runway after landing at LAS yesterday and I took a couple of pics with my iphone. Damned if I know how to post them here though.

Honestly? I know it will outperform any civil airplane ever built but it just looks....odd. The 550 is a way sexier looking airplane.

"And yes, the 650 will do Macau to Vegas. Standing on its head."

Any idea how many hours that flight is?

VMMC-KLAS is 6350 nm via great circle. Obviously it would depend on winds but Gulfstream has validated more than 5000 nm at .90M and just over 7000 nm at .85M so VERY rough math my WAG would be about 14-15 hours going and 12-13 hours coming home. Actual mileage (hourage?) may vary.
