Default The "real world" range of a G-III

Gents, can someone please tell me what the "real world" range of the Gulfstream III is, and assuming max gross weight and sea level on warm day (think Houston TX), what minimum runway length is required.

Thank You

Well the book says about 3500 nm. I've never stretched it that long but believe it is certainly possible. You would need at least 6,000'...MTOW @ 35* @ 500 ft the book says 6,320'. You looking at one?

7 hrs 13 at .80 is the longest I have Done. 7 hrs 32mins at .80 in the GIIB same wing but much lighter.
