I’m guessing New Zealand. The 15 hrs flying time could be either Auckland or Dubai. Singapore would be a bit longer. Since he wasn’t specific about when he’d be back that leads me to believe he might be crossing the international dateline. If so, that would rule out Dubai.

this is what happens when rush is gone and i get bored

palm beach, fl to auckland, new zealand is 8091.51 miles
max range at long range cruise speed is 7767.76
longrange cruise speed for eib1 is mach .80 - 613.81 mph
that makes max flight time 12.65 hours
flight time to new zealand would be 13.18 hours

i’m guessing that in 2012, eib1 will be the new g650
max range at long range cruise speed will be 8055.46
longrange cruise speed will be mach .85 - 652.18 mph
max flight time will be 12.35 hours
flight time to new zealand would be 12.41 hours

filling the tanks of eib1 with jeta - 6000 gallons
at 4.00/gal - $24,000
at 6.00/gal - $36,000

Do you know why Rush decided Costa Rica wasn’t an option for off-shore health care? I must have missed something because I was totally surprised when he said that yesterday.
