Legacy Bashfest - Bring it on!

[G100driver]

All I can say is the Gulfstream cabin is not enough of an improvement to matter to me. I still have to crouch to walk through it, it is nearly identical aesthetically, and the baggage compartment is puny. Yes, this week I flew 15 ppl and we filled every inch of the baggage compartment. EVERY INCH. Thank gawd EMB was smart enough to leave it big. Leftover from the RJ you say, but glad to have it.

Long live the Legacy!

I throughly enjoyed this string ... but give it a rest. You like the WSCoD, great we got it.

Have a Merry Christmas though, and to all, be thankful for the jobs that you do have ... WSCoD or otherwise.

I went to my accountant today to discuss strategies to avoid the Alternative Minimum Tax, determine what investments to sell in this tax year, how to be taxed at capital gains rate rather than at normal rate on these sales and so on.

I was curious, so I took a screen dump of GV's tax posts on bonus depreciation with me. My tax professional said that everything that GV posted was correct.

As is everything I posted. Check with him again (that is if he works with high net-worth individuals). Many lower level accountants confuse tax differal with tax write off.

Thanks for taking this issue so seriously.

Fortunately, it does matter to the over 800 operators of GIV/GV type aircraft.

I still have to crouch to walk through it, it is nearly identical aesthetically...

The Gulfstream cabin is four inches taller, five inches wider and between 2.5 feet and 7 feet longer than the Legacy cabin, depending on Gulfstream model.

For aesthetics, the average Gulfstream customer spends just over $6.5 million on their interior completion. What is the "green" cost of a Legacy?

...and the baggage compartment is puny.

The G550's 226 cubic foot baggage area is 5.8% smaller than the Legacy's 240 cu. ft and 13% larger than the baggage area on the Global Express XRS. The over 16 cubic feet of baggage allowance for each passenger on the GV is generous.

Yes, this week I flew 15 ppl and we filled every inch of the baggage compartment. EVERY INCH. Thank gawd EMB was smart enough to leave it big. Leftover from the RJ you say, but glad to have it.

I also flew 15 passengers this week and althought I had to put one passenger in the crew rest area and the flight attendant on the jump seat, I had no difficulty accomodating their luggage and a box of three LRU's for the maintenance guys. But, my experience is empirical and thereby doesn't matter. What counts are the numbers as they are a constant and the Gulfstream's numbers are constantly better than the Legacy's in every aspect and regime of flight.

You know, customers can customize the interior of their aircraft to meet their needs. Most G550's have a forward crew rest area, a forward vacuum lav, a forward mini-galley for the crew, cabinets for world-wide Jepp storage and one or two closets for hanging garments. This space could be used differently, as could the space for the seven foot entertainment credenza and the four place dining area, but converting the jet into an airliner or a freighter isn't what Gulfstreams are about.

At one time, Gulfstream demonstrators were completed with a forward crew baggage area for the company issued Zero Haliburton aluminum suitcases. To my knowledge, no one has ever asked Gulfstream for a modified rear baggage area, but one of the Globals that Gulfstream brokered as a result of a trade-in had been completed with a larger baggage area. Instead of the straight Global's 1915 cu. ft cabin and 185 cu. ft. baggage area, this one had been set up with a 1775 cu. ft cabin and a 325 cu. ft. baggage area.

The new Subaru Legacy GT Spec B is powered by a 276-hp single twin-scroll turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-liter flat-four. No, it's not yet sold in America, but we hear it will be in 2005.

The GT Spec B receives a more aggressive front bumper than the standard Legacy and significant aerocladding underneath. Inside, a driver-oriented cockpit features a small, sporty airbag-equipped three-spoke MOMO steering wheel similar to the new WRX STi. Both 4AT and 5AT sport models are blessed with tiptronic-style upshift/downshift buttons on the steering wheel.

Inside, the tachometer and speedometer are equally emphasized, clear and informative with a subdued classy style. Seating is top-notch, managing to coddle you on long trips while giving you a measure of control while canyon carving. Hurtling the car around Fuji International, however, reveals the car exhibits higher limits than the side bolstering.

More info available at the MotorTrend website.

Match that one G5....TWIN-SCROLL TURBOCHARGER.

The 2005 Gulfstream Friendship G 7 Motorhome has only a single turbocharger on it's Cat 350 Diesel, but more than compensates for it with cubic inches and it's Dual Tone 6-Way Power Co-Pilot seat with Footrest.

Aaaahhhh sarcasm!! My favorite!!

......can't believe no one has taken a shot at the name yet! Legacy-inheritance................ Unless it's some Portugese word that translates to mean bird of prey or perhaps some sort of weapon (heck, even the Tomahawk had a cool name! ). And before you even go after my vintage transportation L.D.max......even Lear, translated literally, means short, fat, mad scientist that invented the eight track.....regardless, neophytes still associate the name with something fast. Personally, I think the name was intended in it's English translation(inheritance) and the Brazilians are laughing all the way to the bank. Inheritance......as in, just another low quality product shipped from south of the border under the NAFTA.

Ah yes, LegacyDriver gets yet another b!tch-slapping... But for some strange reason, I have a feeling he'll be coming back for more!

Who ever though a WSofD could be such a conversation piece!

6.5 Million for *that*? Dude, you got ripped off.

The cabin is bigger to the extent that it is unnoticeable.

 

[suen1843]

Legacy.....if you don't understand how a large corp aircraft completion can top 6 million then you need to go back to the regionals. I have seen custom completed seats go for $100,000 each. Oh...wait a sec...I guess the EMB seats are interchangeable with the Subaru Legacy (U-R-A-BUS) seats.
