Long-Range Jets?

[Enric Morales]

Hi there!
Lately I have been flying quite a bit with the Gulfstream 550 for X-Plane after buying it. That's a very good plane as well, it's fast, and with its low consumption it would be ideal for transporting, er... the Nobel Prize of Peace winners from LOWW to EDDK in record time .
If not it's not a problem, b/c I could also fly it as private flight.
Best regards,
Enric

Well, this is a little more complicated than the E-Jets question. While Embraer RJ and E-Jets are still "normal" passenger jets, operated by real world airlines like Alitalia (are they still a real world airline?? idk ), the Gulf, as well as the very popular Cessna Citation series, are business jets and almost always operated by private companies.
Because these planes are very nice to fly from time to time, we thought about if and how they should be included. At the moment, the plan is to establish a special department of Air-Child (together with the bush-flying planes) that we could call "shuttle services" or something like that. Right now only the idea exists and a lot of unanswered questions (logistics and programming). So this is something we will probably not realize before mid 2010. Further ideas on this subject are always welcome, though.
