Yes true, but 5,000nm at Mach .95 is still outstanding. Gulfstream hit the ball out of the park with this one. An amazing airplane indeed. Before the only plane that could cover that distance at that speed was the Global Express XRS, but it didn't have the long distance range that this one will have.

Also it's about time Gulfstream made a larger cabin. After flying in a Global, Challenger, or Falcon 900; sitting in a G-IV felt cramped.
