I like Gulfstream & (morally) support you.
I' am however shocked to see they made a big mistake The cabin hight in the middel is 75 inch / 1.90 meters !
That means many people have to move bowed through the cabin! That is just wrong considering the price / segment they are aiming for. Plain wrong.
I guess Gulfstream had long discussions about this and in the end still underestimated this psygological important parameter! The techies should have listened better to the soft marketing folks.
I am almost sure the people pulling the strings are 72 inch or shorter (Are they?). I think deep down that is one of the reasons that caused this unforgiveable design mistake.
Mark my words: this will haunt them for years!! Competitors will use it.
They should have included those f.cking 5 inches, this really pisses me of ..
Anyone has the lenght of the Gulfstream / Gen Dynamic management team?

Quoting Deaphen (Thread starter): My bank account details can be had through a PM. So come on, get to it, get out your cheque books.
I would be happy to donate $10m towards your fund. If you can send me your account details via PM, along with a small payment of $1,000 to cover admin charges for setting up the transfer, then I can send you the money right away. It was left to me by my great grandfather in a trust when he died in a mining accident in Nigeria...

Deaphen,
Slick plane, it's like a Gulfstream V with Cessna Citation-X characteristics -- Nice design...
Well if you got the money for it, go for it -- It's gonna be a hefty bill though (~65 million dollars) -- I'm not going to pay for you to buy the plane though.
If I had 65 million-dollars, and was hell bent on buying a plane, I'd probably buy an old jetliner instead. Gas bill would probably be higher, but they're way cheaper (especially for the size difference, I'd have money left over for awhle), invest the rest of the money in stocks and stuff (make that money work for you, you know? Plus I got a gas bill to pay for), then call up all my friends and invite them over.
