Pumps, thanks for that amazing "story."
Any way I can get the names of the crew so I can keep an eye out for them - and run the other direction?
I have lost count of the number of cracked outer panes that I've had. I'm sure its similar on other types of jets - no big deal. Don't need to divert, land, or reduce cabin diff. Just turn off the window heat. Gulfstream has since re-designed the window and its not supposed to happen as frequently. Anybody who has as much Gulfstream time as the captain allegedly does should know this - its the same window in the 3, 4, and 5...
Crew is lucky they lived through this cause I don't think skill had anything to do with it.
Best,
GC
