The first test aircraft for Gulfstream’s clean-sheet G500 landed at the Henderson Executive Airport, just southeast of Las Vegas, a few days ago in preparation for the National Business Aircraft Association’s Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition, which opened its doors today.
Despite fighting a 75-knot headwind, the G500 completed the 1,630 nm flight from the company’s headquarters in Savannah, Georgia to Las Vegas in 4 hours and 36 minutes, averaging Mach 0.85 at 45,000 feet.
