Ah, this is awesome. We had some interesting flight paths on our test CL604 but nothing that clever.
what brought this on? cessna won that one hands down!
Greenpeace will not be happy about this.
That is hilarious. I'd love to hear some of the ATC recordings of this flight.
That is classic!
Haha wow, that is awesome!
Haha wow, that is awesome!
Is that for real?
Is that for real?
Of course. Just a little friendly competition between Cessna and Gulfstream at the Flight Levels. A bit of a waste of Jet-A, but a cool marketing tool they may use in the future I would suspect.Quote:

I should have added earlier that these are often performance test flights so the 4 hours and 15 minutes of flight time is far from pointless in most cases.Quote:

I was talking to Cessna test pilots over lunch yesterday and they confirmed that it was a fuel system test flight.
Funny thing, I said something like "So that flight about a month ago..." and they immediately knew what I was talking about :roll:
