“One thousand to go,” Brian Dickerson called from the right seat. I confirmed with a nod while also holding up my index finger. Hand-flying the airplane in the upper flight levels and still climbing smartly, I began adding just a tiny bit of forward pressure on the G500’s sidestick to arrest our climb at FL […]

For bizjet owners, an aircraft being grounded can be a devastating event and, in most cases, it is critical to get the airplane back in operation as soon as possible. To help make that happen for the more than 2,800 jets Gulfstream has delivered worldwide, the company has launched a dedicated aircraft-on-ground (AOG) center at […]

The market for new Part 23 and Part 25 general aviation airplanes has yet to see a return to the brisk sales levels recorded before the 2008 financial crisis, but slow deliveries can be blamed at least in part on the encouraging fact that many buyers say they are merely waiting for certification of new […]

The G500 just entered the final stage of its flight test and certification program, while the G600 recently completed company field performance testing. To date, the five G500 aircraft have accumulated […]

But there is a lot of exciting development going on this year, too. Here are some new airplanes that we are looking forward to hearing more about. Bend, Oregon-based […]

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, […]

Riding high on the success of its final test flight in August, the Gulfstream G600 arrived in Las Vegas this week for a formal unveiling. The fully-outfitted G600 offered customers and general onlookers an idea of just how luxurious the aircraft can be, as it was built with a “high level of customization” in mind. […]
