Upgrading aircraft, thoughts?

[Gulfstream 200]

G-III (grandfathered)

They're cheap and getting cheaper all the time. And you'll be all spooled-up on Gulfstreams when it's time for the G-IV.

The first sentence is why one might not want to buy one (lol)

BTW you can get a GIV in his price range now (under 7mil)

CL 300. All day everyday. And He won't lose money on it.

Hey G200,
you are a confusing person. Your screen name is G200 but it looks like you've flown every G but the 200. You mention Gulfstreams about 10 times yet you say that you're a Embraer Lineage Captain? Are you trying to confuse us?

I apologize for the confusion my brother, Yes I have logged some time in the ole' IAI-1126...and I have no comment. Its not a Gulfstream, its an aborted Astra...

Im a Grumman Guy - these beauties only come from Savannah and its all I will fly. I have the jacket, the hat, the flight bag, etc etc...I even hear they are making Gulfstream underoos - and I'm all over those! BTW - I only fly at FL510 and I take a lot of pictures of the HUD and the airshow because people dig that.

I keep in touch with all my fellow Grummanese down there in GA and I was instrumental in convincing them to keep the yoke in the Mighty G650. FBW or not I dont want any French pansy type sidestick, I want a big ole yoke with the Grumman logo lookin' at me for 15hrs in cruise. It reminds me how far I have come in life.

All this talk about the Silly SuperGlobal. I bet that thing will have sidesticks and wont have a prayer at out-turning an F/18 at FL510.

NJA, 2000 F2000 share, $700K + 2005 CX share, $700K. Problem solved.

Problem solved? You just put this guy and his co-workers out on the street since there is now no need for an in-house department. Nice.

Yeah, great invesment going with NetJets, I enjoy being unemployed. Gotta pay for that Fiji water somehow.

We ended up going with a Falcon 50 with the -4 engine conversion w/proline 21.

 

[BoilerUP]

Did you take that white-tail 50-4 w/ PL21 that was for sale @ ALN?

If so, earlier this year their ask on that plane was mid-$7s....

 

[CDogg]

Yeah the original asking was 7.995, then 6.495, then 6.395..
