    Taking your hand off the power levers during the flare isn't great technique. Nice looking plane...

    nice plane, impressive specs, really boring video, better video has been supplied from cell phones... they could have shot that video from a mock up and no one could tell the difference... Gulfstream's marketing department should go and hide

    Ok so our lead MX guy is also lead MX guy on a 650. We poked around it for a few minutes the other day. It looks fake inside. I couldnt get past that feeling. Nice but it had a mock up feeling. I guess because everything was so crisp and clean....simple. The cockpit was REALLY decluttered. And that is coming from a G-IV/GV550 guy.


    I had a chance to climb around #2 in the Ga facility....it looked 'Squatterier' that a GV....Not so in the final paint and trim. Gorgeous bird.
