Having looked at the g250 as replacement aircraft for our principle we are deeply impressed.
The speed of development has been unprecedented and the designers have taken a great cabin (G200) and matched it to a great wing, airframe and engines.
Enough gadgets to make any pilot's eyes water this is a flying wet dream.

There are however some risks involved, firstly it is a new type and the problems that have plagued the G150 hopefully are lessons learnt.
My real concern is for middle east or frequent middle east flyers.

I am not trying to be anti Israel so will not be drawn into a political, racial discussion ( so don't even try) but the attitude to the Israelis in t he ME changes with same rate as there bulldozers through the gaza strip, it's unpredictable. The only drawback at present is the geo political aspect.
I would have preferred it to be built solely in Savannah.

My 2cents worth
