Excuse me, but the C-20 has a range of 4,275 miles! I thought a trans-continental flight was - what? - 3,000 miles? Allow some extra for contingencies - as any good pilot should do - and that seems plenty to get Her High-and-Mightiness to her home on the Left Coast!

DC to San Francisco is 2128 nautical miles.

The G-III has a range of 3698 nautical miles. But thats not figured with a full load or full crew. Or weather conditions. Fully loaded and crewed range might be in the 2500-2800 nm range.

Also every plane is different but you have to plan on reserves. So its quite possible that fully loaded on the G-III and weather conditions, that 2128 might not quite be able to make it, without refueling.

Now the C-37 is a G500/550 it has 6,000+nm range which fully loaded and crewed plus reserves gives you plenty from coast to coast.

Also the G550 costs about $5000 per hour versus the $22,000 per hour of the C-32.

The Gulfstream 500 also has a range of over 4000 miles.
