There are reasons to have an aft galley on a Gulfstream, more so on the G4/450, than the 5/550/650

1. Weight and Ballance with aft galley is far better on the 4/450. Not so much a factor on the 5/550/650

2. The cabin is quiter with the aft galley due to its placement between the motors

3. You don't lose a window with an aft galley ( not a factor in the 650)

4. And you don't have to pull the galley out during inspection time to inspect the window that is covered by the forward galley.

Both configurations have their benefits!
