Following its June 28 initial flight, Gulfstream Aerospace’s new top-of-the-line flagship, the G800, completed its first international trip as it arrived in Farnborough to participate in the airshow on Friday. The aircraft flew from Gulfstream’s headquarters in Savannah, Georgia, to its customer support facility at the UK airfield.

Gulfstream rolled out the first G800 as it formally unveiled the aircraft in October, setting a new range bar for purpose-built business jets at 8,000 nm. The aircraft is to eventually succeed Gulfstream’s G650ER with the same fuselage but incorporate elements found on the G700 including its Honeywell Epic-based Symmetry flight deck, dual head-up displays with combined vision system and active control sidesticks, and predictive landing performance system.
