Talk:Gulfstream G550

Operators section
I cleaned this section up. Flags should not be in section labels. There were too many subsections too. It had several operators for the GV and C-37A, which should be in Gulfstream V, not here. It looked like a lot of text from copied directly from Gulfstream's press release. The entry for the USAF about a C-37 being used for presidential transport is dubious. The reference only says a 'Gulf Stream'. -Fnlayson 21:10, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Page Heading
I think the page topic should be Gulfstream G550 / G500. The current G500 title is not the proper focus of the rest of the page.

The G550 was developed first and certified first as the top of the line Gulfstream. The G500 is simply a reduced fuel load version of the G550 with corresponding reduction in Ramp weight, Takeoff gross weight, and range. The TO field performance is correspondingly better. The G500 was developed to compete with the Global Express in price and performance. By far the majority of production is G550 not G500. Specialmissions (talk) 21:11, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

The summary box says introduced into service 1998, but the text says introduced 2004. Which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.91.147.35 (talk) 21:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The dates listed in the Infobox appear to be for the Gulfstream V, on which G500 & G550 are based. I'll see if I can find the G500/G550 dates from Gulfstream's site. -Fnlayson (talk) 21:31, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Product name / article name?
The manufacturer calls it Gulfstream G550. See Gulfstream history page for the G550, G500, etc. So I fail to see the grounds for moving this article to "Gulfstream 550". It should be moved back to "Gulfstream G550". -Fnlayson (talk) 21:13, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * My bad - typo on the move request - I left out the "G"! Thanks for catching that, Jeff. - BillCJ (talk) 21:44, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I thought it was someone else thinking the G550 = Gulfstream 550. OK, I'll try to move it then, since this in not disputed. -Fnlayson (talk) 21:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Can't move it now. It can be after Gulfstream G550 is deleted. -Fnlayson (talk) 22:02, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Requested merger
IAI Eitam → Gulfstream G550
 * (See Merging and moving pages for details on performing mergers.)

Rationale: IAI Eitam has minimal content, expansion probably not likely in the near furture; content better covered as a variant on G550 page. - BillCJ (talk) 20:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

G500 first flight - now
The G500 flew in 2015 for the first time - I don't know how to include that in the article which says that the G500 was certified 10 years ago. TGCP (talk) 22:39, 20 May 2015 (UTC)


 * There are two different models called the G500. This article covers the first one, which didn't sell that well. Gulfstream reused the designation for symmetry with the G600. - BilCat (talk) 22:53, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
