This is interesting...especially when you do the math...
".....On Sunday July 24th 2005 the Falcon 2000EX flew its 1st passenger leg....The Bangor-Venice trip was 7 hours and 19 minutes and the aircraft landed with over 3,500lbs of fuel on board (nearly 2 hours of fuel remaining).
...Yesterday the Falcon 2000EX flew from Le Bourget Cedex-Paris to Columbus, OH, non-stop with a flight time of 9 hours and 16 minutes....
Hmmmm....how slow did they have to go to keep that beast in the air for 9.3 hours...
...prly not an accident they didn't post the block-in fuel in that second statement...
It had to be thin!
Would some 2000EX experts chime in. I'm reluctant to tell my boss stuff like that, since he'll expect it. We are considering this airplane. Could you have done Legourget - CMH faster going at a higher mach and making a stop?
