The latest Gulfstream G700 has a range of 7750 miles according to Gulfstream at a speed of up to Mach .9, they’ve also announced a G800 with a slightly longer range of nearly 8000 miles, they will set you back 75 million before customization.

If I had an insane amount of money like her, the one major luxury I would have is a private jet to go anywhere at anytime and avoid all the hassles of commercial flights.

Rush Limbaugh had a G550 which set him back around 55-60 million, I remember him talking about flying nonstop from his home Palm Beach to Hawaii when he used to vacation there.

“The latest Gulfstream G700 has a range...”

“Rush Limbaugh had a G550 ...”


The larger aircraft can have flight parameters that are quite different — I recall Rush talking about the G650 — it came with 12 iPads or so but it could land at shorter airports than the G550 and save him 1/2 hour each way in travel time.

My local airport - BZN - is extremely busy year-round with GA aircraft.

We even get a fair amount of BBJ’s and the like. The closer the tail number color is to the underlying color (meaning very hard to see) ofttimes means a world leader is visiting...
