Last week at the NBAA Convention static display at Henderson Executive Airport outside Las Vegas, Flying Editor-in-Chief Robert Goyer took the opportunity to visit Gulfstream’s exhibit for a special delivery. For the first time in the history of Flying‘s Editors’ Choice Awards, one company has earned awards for not one but two products, in this case the recently certified G280 and G650 business jets.
Goyer handed over the awards to Gulfstream’s senior vice president of marketing and sales, Scott Neal and vice president of communications Steve Cass right in front of the airplanes at the exhibit. First was the super-midsize G280, which features great range capabilities, up to 3,600 nautical miles, speeds as fast as Mach 0.85 and Gulfstream’s PlaneView280 glass cockpit, which includes HUD and EVS.
