The Cl300s look pretty darn sporty, got in one one time back when i was flying corporate and it seemed nice. But I had cabin envy... it's cabin was smaller than my jet and I really envied that. Got sick of hauling 1 person and their entourage of 13 others around. I really wanted a CJ1 after a while. Range limited and small is the way to go.

Said to be simpler but from my cockpit tour, it’s not a huge deal. Graphical flight planning and no FMS is nice, too. It’s all on the screens. SVS in the Global, which is real nice but there’s no operational advantage in lowered mins. Global flies nice enough, but not FBW. 5000nm off 5,000’ at sea level. Cabin sells the plane, Ka band installed and the pilots can check the weather instantly while the boss gets his emails, his wife gets to do shopping and the kids watch a streaming movie. Kinda nice.

But as a former 88 pilot I am fascinated with things that effortlessly create lift. So fascinating to me and i don't know why.

I remember watching a global take off from PDK (not that long of a runway) a few months ago. We live 10 minutes from there and the restaurant has a porch... great for nerds like me!
Could tell they were full power from the noise... curious where they were going, so I pulled it up on flight aware. Amsterdam! Impressive...

Highly swept wings should have slats says some aerodynamists to me. They cited GLF’s history of IGE stalls as proof. A friend went from the Global to the G650, now there are airports they can’t use due to landing perf. Just sayin’ the rivalry between the two types.
OTOH, agreed the Global needs the slats to compensate for the heavier airframe and higher wing loading to achieve similar performance.

That said we didn't have them on the Legacy but we weren't doing PDK to AMS. But we could pull off pDK-oregon with no problem.

Maybe part of reason for chatter about adding pax airframes back to the line?
