Gulfstream Aerospace pulled a rabbit out of its hat on October 14 when it not only uncloaked the new large-cabin G500 and G600 programs but also rolled out the G500 under its own power in front of a crowd of 3,000 people gathered for a launch ceremony at the company’s Savannah, Ga. headquarters. A week later, crowds got in line to file through a full-size G600 mockup at the NBAA Convention in Orlando, Fla.
