Gulfstream 650 Rollout

[400A]

No kidding-looks like a long global. Anyone know if flexjet has ordered any?

Last time I checked, Flex only operated Bombardier products.

I need a paper towel...

That is by far the best looking jet I have ever seen..

I will happily trade it for my super sexy A320 but i get to keep the side sticks and pull out table...

Wow. Too bad they didn't unveil it back when people actually were buying these things.

By the time it's certified, people will be back to buying them. They have deposits on more than 100 copies and only a few have been returned. The airplane will sell just fine.

It's hard to judge how much bigger it is because it is so well proportioned. Those windows are 18% bigger than the windows on a IV or V. There are also 8 of them instead of 7 so the cabin is longer too (and wider from what I read). The "guppy" look at the wing attach point is a bit different for Gulfstream but to make 7500 + NM range, they needed room for a bit more fuel...

Hardly any more gas Gut. It has an .85 LRC is where there getting the range. Just what I heard.

You'll have to be senior enough to bid it, first. Doubt I will be for another 10 years.

Unless it has blue lights and a siren... I wont be driving it!

Are you taking the leave BV? Heard you might be strapping on the shield and gun for a while. (and if you have a choice, don't carry one of those wimpy Glocks. Carry a real gun, a 1911)

That's a big 10-4. The only flying I'm doing is down I-40...

Rookie school is a blast! I'm the 4th oldest person in the class (31 cadets) and the 5th fastest runner...

I carry the Glock 27 or my H&K with my NC CCW permit. The department issues a Sig 226.
