1 min read 
Few airplanes inspire envy like a Gulfstream jet, and the model sitting at the top of the company’s lineup is the large cabin, long range G650. Most private pilots won’t ever get to fly one of these beauties, but you can get a small taste of what it’s like in this video. Experienced pilot Fred George puts the G650 through its paces, including air work and use of the heads-up display.
