There are times when breaking a promise isn’t as bad as it sounds at first, like when a company delivers a product or service that outperforms expectations. Gulfstream’s been on the road the past few weeks telling people the new G500/G600 series of airplanes will fly further and faster than the company than originally planned, delivering improvements that represent some sizable numbers. The pair of new Gulfstreams also incorporate trailing link landing gear.
