Oh, I know. By far my favorite jet. Got to see one fly last year at an airshow.

The G2 was just straight out the back shrieking noise.
There's an old GII that leaves out of the field that our offices are at maybe once every 4 months to fly down to Central America. Even with the hush kits, and sitting in the office I swear the windows shake. You walk outside and it's trail looks like a Gulf War oil field on departure.

At fifty five hundred pounds of fuel burn the first hour it is indeed a flying fuel refinery. But damn ain't it cool.
My last flight in a G3 was two years ago, I knew it was something special that I probably would never experience again. Just a fine machine.

what are you flying now?

My favorite part of the GII was the Grumman logo on the yokes. That old cockpit was classic looking for some reason.. Though there were a few old boxes that hadn't worked in a long, long time... Who needs a 3rd FMS?

Always liked Jimmy Buffet's "Hemisphere Dancer"

Beechcraft 90 (King Air) - Queen Air, since it is smaller than the 200 and 350.
MD80 - Mad Dog
Cessna Citation - Slow-tation due to Citations absolutely dying on final.
As mentioned before, the high performance single engines (Mooneys and Bonanzas) - Doctor killers.

G450 and G5, they're nice but sort of video garish in comparison to the G3

We have some local guys that fly them in SHV. One of them had a passenger with a medical emergency, and the pilot landed that sucker at 190 kts and stopped it in about 2500 feet. Awesome flying in a great plane.

Also heard the T-37 referred to as the converter, since it converted fuel to noise.

Hawker Beechjet called the Beechjunk
Rockwell Turbo Commander called the turbo commode
Swearingen Metroliner called the Death Tube
Cessna 421 Golden Eagle called the Screaming Chicken

I don't think that pig could do 190 knots in a vertical dive

Another, the F-104 was dubbed both the "Flying Coffin" and also the "Widowmaker" where even experienced pilots found the plane very demanding and unforgiving.
Also "Aluminum death tube", and "Missile with a man in it".
