GVSP or a Global Express?

Old reliable

I knew I could count on you.

 

[sydeseet]

Now that's funny.

You have to explain how!

No, no, GVFlyer. He said you have to EXPLAIN HOW the global operates against the laws of nature and physics, not that it just does.

We're waiting.

Check your PM's. If I do one more iteration of why the GV is a Wonder Jet and the Global Excuse is the flying equivalent of a fishing trawler, the denizens of this board will be trying to get through my server with pitchforks and torches.

Agreement!!

We can agree on Something.

You guys are all hitting the pipe WAY too hard.

The G-V? C'mon...I don't care how well the thing flies - it fell from the ugly tree and hit every friggin branch on the way down.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - it's all about the Citation X! Be sure to tell me all about how well your G-V handles as I'm blowing by at .92.

What???


Big D,

It must hurt to be so misinformed. This is from the FAI World Record Book for speed over a recognized course. The Citation has the record for speed in it's class, but not overall - that belongs to the Gulfstream. Just so you don't have to get out your calculator, the GV averaged 535 MPH from New York to Los Angeles in the factory demonstrator; the Citation was over 26 MPH slower.

Have you actually seen a GV, or just had a Citation salesman tell you what he thinks one looks like?

Sober up before you attempt a reply.

You had to get him started again didn't you?

Oh man! What did you go and do THAT for... he was sleeping quietly!

Will you guys ever learn!?!?

Besides everyone who is anyone already knows the 900EX looks better than both of those ugly machines!

 

[bigD]

LOL! Part of the fun of writing my post was the anticipation of GVFlyer sniffing it out and responding!

My Acura will go 400 miles on one tank of gas at some given speed. A Ferrarri might do 400 miles as well, but I'd be willing to bet that it'd have to be travelling much slower than the Acura to make 400 miles on one tank. So when I'm out cruising for chicks, do I take the Acura because it can maintain a faster speed over a specific distance?

Nope.

But hey GVFlyer - you know darned well that I'd take your job flying the G-V any day, so don't take it personally! After all, when I'm in the cockpit, I can't see the ugly monstrosity wrapped around me anyway! And when I'm approaching the plane on the ground, I'll just remember to walk backwards.

::hopes GVFlyer knows that everything I say is tongue in cheek::

Hey FalconCapt - that 900EX is definitely a classy bird! I'm not going to argue with you there. Especially since I hope to get a cockpit tour the next time you're down at KAUS!

As long as I get some BBQ at the Salt Lick!

That's a deal!
