Where in Asia...?

we are based in asia, and i've heard of a lot of G-200's coming here,
In China and Hong Kong, for example, there are 'millions' of them. Gulfstream must have given special discounts... So, when maintenance, spare parts etc. are considerations, then you're probably not so bad off with one of them.

For 15 Mill. USD, you can certainly find a very nice CL300 or F2000. 10 Mill. USD is a bit tough, but there are some early s/n's out there.

Also think about the fuel consumption when flying (relatively) low and fast. Don't expect to get the same FLs on those legs as you might in the US or Europe!

Regarding the availability of pilot training facilities, for the F2000 (classic) there are currently: four, CL300: two, G200: three.

Let your boss test fly a F2000 or CL300 and you'll see. And (as J.R. already mentioned): get independent, professional counsel. It's worth the money!
