This year so far, four G200’s have gone off piste.
Honduras, China, Nigeria and the Philippines.
I don’t think Gulfstream are the ones to apportion blame to.

I completely agree, having a look they do not appear to be an aircraft issue. My comment was more to do with bad press and media speculation from some ‘expert’.
