Cool aircraft technology

I was checking out Gulfstream's website and found this cool video presentation of their new Enhanced Vision Technology.

I like the Aspen and Grand Teton ones the best. All this can be yours for the low low price of $30 million for a G5 🙂

I like Grand Tetons too 😉

Geez, with 30 million, couldn't you buy an F-15?

That is not surprising at all. Private jet owners and small fleet operators are always a step ahead in terms of technology adoption. The simple reason is cost. It is much cheaper to upgrade one or maybe a dozen planes versus hundreds.

whoops they are actually $43-48 million 🙂 sure you could buy an F-15 (if they were for sale) but you couldn't fly 6,500 miles at 51,000' in absolute luxury 🙂

Or you could just buy a Cadillac DeVille DTS. A bit less than $30 million.

I've flown in the GIV....and it was every bit worth the 40 mil they paid for it.

oo I'm jealous! The guy who did my private pilot flight test is a test pilot for Gulfstream, I keep bugging him for a ride.
