the likes of the pretentious wankers getting a guided tour of a G650, (as if they're actually going to buy one - I mean seriously, as if anyone who's in the market for one of these is going to inspect one & buy it on the spot at Avalon).
You might be surprised should you know the truth. It's an opportunity for business representatives to come along and take a look at equipment from multiple vendors that would normally take multiple interstate and overseas trips.

You wouldn't think they would bring G650's or similar from the US time and time again for no return would you?

Alternatively, think of it this way... why would a company such as Billabong / Quiksilver or any other major clothing brand put a retail store at Times Square NYC where the rent would likely be 100 times the value of their turnover, let alone profit - its product placement and marketing.

Some of the exhibits in the trade hall had some SERIOUS cash behind them, the setup alone many many thousands of dollars let alone rental for the hall space.
