I may be headed to Jan Arie's corner of the world. I'v been asked to document the 100th Anniversary of Admiral Byrd's flight to the North Pole on May 9th. Pretty aggressive itinerary, leave here and head to DC, then on to Norway to recreate the route Admiral Byrd flew to the North Pole, then back to Dallas. The platform will be a Gulfstrm 650ER. I'm headed for exposure suit training and certification in the next week or two.
We will also be setting a G650ER world speed record from the North Pole to Fort Worth.
Ill wave when you fly over , that bird will probably have some nice interior I suppose.
And the top speed is also not to shabby Mach 0.925
Hi Jan Arie,
Yes, it is very nicely appointed on the inside. When they are going for world speed records they usually push it right to that speed. Thye set one last year from somewhere in the UK to Dallas and average 9.2 I think. The Gulfstream didn't break a sweat.
