I don't think too many pilots would turn down a job on any of these airframes-all things being equal. These topics always seem to come up with the same results and opinions.

Im currently flying a Gulfstream 4 & 5, so i have to go with Gulfstream of course, as long as its a GV. Its such a sweet A/C. Put fuel on and go basically anywhere at FL450 at M.85. Iv never flown a Global but been in the sim, I pick that over the G4, but im always going to be particial to the GV.

Can't say how any of them are to fly, but I have always thought the Global was the best looking of the three.

Anybody else feel the Gulfstream has bad pilot seating? It’s a nice plane but I have no idea what they were thinking when they designed the tiny pilot seating area. It’s really terrible, obviously they designed the seats around the airframe rather than the space around the pilot. The leg closest to pedestal has no space to rest other than just stay in same position because the pedestal is too wide and cuts into your width of leg area. I literally get cramps after 1 or 2 hours. Worst part is you can’t recline on the 4 and rudder pedals barely move inwards to give you some space. A Lear 60 probably has more width for your legs! Anyone have any tips? I tried like every position.

How much do the avionics suites factor into your decision on aircraft.
I think the Gulstreams are the best looking aircraft but that 7X EASycockpit when it came out on the 7X looked mighty fine! How did it compare to comparable aircraft cockpits at the time and what is considered top of the line avionics now? G-650, Falcon 8X, Global (what is it now?) 7000?

Hands down, the Global series. The 7500 is flat out awesome, but the new 5500/6500 types will be great, too.

I agree with GF. Funny to see my post from 2011 before I flew the Global. I have a soft spot for the Global series now.

Totally biased!
