Really expensive skywriting (in a Gulfstream)
« on: February 07, 2007, 11:34:59 AM »
Consensus is this was a cold soak acceptance flight for an airplane just before customer delivery.  Figuring fuel and maintenance costs at the fixed hourly rate just for an operator this flight was between $28,000 and $30,000 :O   Sure wish I had $50,000,000+ laying around for a new G550.

A Gulfstream V (Five) is known simply as a G-5 or G-V.
