GIIB

We have been operating a stage III G2B worldwide for 16 years. It has been a great performer. We have considered upgrading to a GIV. Bottom line, as far as operating cost, unless your flying over 600 hours a year, or need the extra range, the 2B is cheaper to operate. The aircraft is very reliable and maintenance is very reasonable. Avoid the major service centers and you will save major coin. We figure the total hourly operating cost at around 4000 hr flying @ 400 hours per year.
