Something, I think, about being able to fly non-stop to San Francisco. Well, the G-III is fully capable of that mission ... if, that is, the airplane isn't loaded down with an entourage.

From http://www.airliners.net/info/stats.main?id=237

"G-III - Max cruising speed 928km/h (500kt), economical cruising speed 818km/h (442kt). Initial rate of climb 3800ft/min. Max operating ceiling 45,000ft. Range with eight passengers and reserves 7600km (4100nm)."

Sounds good enough. 4,100 nautical miles = 4,718.19574 miles.

Am I correct that the air miles from Andrews to san Fracisco ar about 2400 NM? Sounds like the G-3 does it easily! We did it all the time in a G-4 with max load.

Does that take into account flying against the jet stream??? Going west you'd be up against head winds, going east you can pick up quite a boost.
