Yeah, that's a pretty big difference alright. But I have a small bulletin for you: From the front seats you can't tell how much airplane is behind you, only what's in front of you.svcta said:Do you know? I don't. And save the school on what a G-IV is equivalent to. Besides, your wrong. A 777 only weighs about 600,000 more pounds than a G-IV, that's one very small difference.
And believe me when I say that a G-IV is right on a par with the most modern airliners, it's no joke or exaggeration. Stick the HUD and EVS and maybe the planeview cockpit of the G450/550 in there and you're beyond nearly EVERY airliner out there. And if it's complexity you require just ask one of these airline retirees who hops into a G-V right after the early-out how school was for them. I haven't met one yet who wasn't more than impressed with what it took to squirm through initial, much less by what the airplane can do.
