looking at both aircrafts "factsheets"
650 and the 605 they look almost the same with the exception of new avionics and a different engine "-"number

They are the same!

Like you said newer/better avionics and the engines have a bit more thrust.

I was hoping for a new wing, longer fuselage and way more thrust.

They really need to fill in the gap between the 605 and the Global 5000 IMHO.

No matter what number they give the aircraft... I still prefer the F2000 family anyday!

Curious as to when the Global 7000 and 8000 are going to start delivering, they look like to be very promising designs.

We've been told 2016 for the 7000 and 2017/2018 for the 8000.

Something I don't understand. If you go to their website and click on the range maps. Then select London, and it can't reach Miami.

But select Miami, and it can reach London.

Why is that?

Average headwinds and tailwinds?

85% Boeing winds on those legs. I've done KPBI-EGGW in a 604.
