The Gulfstream V took the GIV's formula and added intercontinental range. It can fly from New York to Tokyo non-stop. When executives say 'we'll take the jet,' this is usually what they mean.
Fun fact
The G-V was the first business jet to fly non-stop across the Pacific Ocean.
How to spot one
Larger than G-IV. Oval windows. Swept wing. Can circle the globe with one fuel stop.
Crews call it
The Five-Fifty
