Matt’s Hangar
Ford Motor Company’s Gulfstream G650 ultra-high-speed, ultralong- range business jet flew into the Wellington Municipal Airport this weekend. Manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace, these airplanes are designed to provide all the comforts of home, at 50,000 feet. The aircraft can carry up to 18 passengers with a range of 7,000nm. The aerodynamic wing increases speed, range and fuel efficiency.
