We saw a lot of remarkable planes at the Paris Air Show last month, but one new jet really stood out: the Gulfstream G650.
At $65 million, it's the biggest, fastest, and overall best private jet money can buy.
It also takes a lot of patience to get your hands on one — order now, and you'll get your G650 in 2017.
But once you're on board, you can fly around the planet faster and
higher than on any commercial jet, in a cabin flooded with natural light
and filled with air that is actually richer than what you breathe in
cheaper planes.
With the G650, Gulfstream "established a new market segment for the
whole industry," communications head Steve Cass said in an interview at
the Paris Air Show. And there won't be any real competitors until 2016/2017, when Bombardier's Global 7000/8000 is scheduled to go into service.
Until then,the G650 will remain the gold standard, and it's easy to see why.
