That C-20 (what us sillyvilians know as a Gulfstream III or IV) might indeed have to stop and refuel if flying westbound against the prevailing easterly winds at high altitude, if carrying a full load of passengers. To which I say...so what? There's plenty of nice secure Air Force bases that she could stop at along the way to pick up some jet fuel. And the two Speys on that thing burn one HELL of a lot less fuel than a pair of PW2037s or PW2040s on a 757! After all, Nance, gotta watch the carbon footprint those cute pumps are leaving behind, eh?
