When I saw the it on the ramp at Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Connecticut, my first impression of the Bombardier Global 6000, the company’s latest ultra-long-range wonder, was simply that it is a staggeringly beautiful airplane. The one I was looking at, and which I’d shortly get to fly, was the very picture of elegance, stark white with gold, like a great model made of porcelain but built to fly at velocities approaching the speed of sound — a wonder.
