Be interesting to dig down into that figure; 3850 miles from an unrestricted airfield. Northolt, especially on 07, is pretty restrictive, especially with 8 pax (near full load on a super-mid)! Plenty of jets have a 'book' figure of 3850, but I don't think that's quite enough to make it to DC in one go.

Don't know if there's any Dassault drivers here, but Falcon 2000LXS book range is about 4000nm...not sure how many pax you could carry. And, of course, there's not a 'standard' DASS fit out there for a Falcon. Eventually you end up with G550, although the production line has stopped now, so you would need to find two similar used examples. Definitely not enough money there for even G400!
