Here is another of the cabal, Creflo Dollar.
In another article I had read one time, Creflo said they needed a G650 to help deliver supplies for the homeless and hungry throughout the world. His previous plane, a Gulfstream G3 was damaged beyond repair.
Here are some stats on a G650.
Max zero fuel weight. 60,500 lbs
Max landing weight 83,500 lbs
Max payload 6,500 lbs
Baggage capacity 195 cu ft.
Max range 8 pax, 4 crew is 7,000nmi
Typical configuration is 18 pax.
Point being.
The plane has cargo area of ONLY 195 cubic feet.
That is approximately 6’ x 6’ x 6’
Max payload is 6500 lbs.
8 pax and 4 crew is 12 people, average 160# is 1920 lbs., leaving 4500 lbs for “supplies”.
503 gallons average fuel burn per hour.
At about $6 a gallon, that’s $3000 an hour for fuel.
Landing 70,000 lbs of plane is limited to only the best airports.
Landing requires 3000 ft
Max take off is 5858 ft.
MOST “executive” airports cannot handle the G650
(But hey, the rubes will fall for it)
“The board of World Changers Church International, which was founded by popular televangelist Creflo Dollar and conducts business as Creflo Dollar Ministries, said in a strongly worded statement that the organization will acquire the luxury multimillion dollar Gulfstream G650 jet they tried to raise $65 million to purchase through a short-lived crowdfunding campaign that sparked public outcry in March.
The ministry shut down the crowdfunding campaign asking 200,000 of its international supporters to donate $300 each in March to purchase the aircraft that reportedly had billionaires waiting in line to purchase one last year.”
“We plan to acquire a Gulfstream G650 because it is the best, and it is a reflection of the level of excellence at which this organization chooses to operate. We, the World Changers family, so value the lives, the safety and the well-being of our pastors and leaders that we wish to provide to them the best air travel experience possible,” said the statement from the WCCI board.
