More news on the eagerly anticipated Gulfstream G150. Aero-News reports that a second Gulfstream G150 has been pressed into action for test flights, two weeks ahead of schedule. The G150 business jet is still expected to be in service during the third quarter of 2006. The second production G150 completed its first flight Sept. 2 in Tel Aviv, Israel , flying 5 hours, 30 minutes. The first G150 flight-test aircraft has flown around 70 flights. Gulfstream and Israel Aircraft Industries are developing the wide-cabin business jet. Certification is expected in the first quarter of next year and Gulfstream is currently displaying a true-to-size replica of the G150 cabin and cockpit at various cities throughout the United States. There is also a virtual tour up on the Gulfsteam G150 website.
