I remember seeing the first BBJ at an NBAA show at PDK in Atlanta, thought holy crap that is some luxury. Was working the ramp so we got to up close and personal with all the new corporate aircraft.

I love my Gulfstream, but the BBJ is a private jet above all others unless you are limited by weight (TEB) or wingspan (Aspen).

the BBJ can land in most private airports though.

The Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty (A220-100) is an interesting new competitor the the 737-700 / 737-7 Max model. I do wonder how well it will sell.

Speed and lower altitude pressure in the cabin is the major benefit of a Gulfstream. The space in a BBJ is impressive though.

@@Puzzoozoo 737 burns more fuel, but maintenance and parts are much lower.Pilots training costs 1/3 of a G550 and many other stuffs are cheaper.Would say BBJ it's only 30-35% more expensive to operate compared with G550.

Thanks for the breakdown, I would never now have a BBJ or ACJ, as a dedicated corporate jet/bizjet seems much more practical, as well as resealable.

They're still airliners. The release of the Dassault Falcon 10X will throw a wrinkle into the flagship purpose-built business jet arena.

Dennis you made me laugh about the amount if these BBJs that we have!!😊😊😊 You said 27 aircraft from you research of our President or our U.S. Governmental Fleet that we all pay our taxes for!!😃😃. Our government like other customers receive some discounts when buying big aircraft like this!😀😀😀 I remember former President Bill Clinton flying home to upstate New York and the press greeted him and wanted to talk. It was very beautiful seeing a Gulfstream 450 or 500 with the United States colors on it. This was when Mrs. Clinton was Sec. of State and he Mr. Clinton was doing his book tours after being President. It is so nice to see the U.S. colors on the smaller jets!😊😊😊
