Airborne 01.13.17: G650ER Record Streak, False Drone Hit, Piper Archer Sale

Pending sanctioning from the recognizing organizations, it looks like the Gulfstream G650ER continues to set records. 

A G650ER took off from Ohio’s John Glenn Columbus International Airport and landed at Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport 14 hours and 35 minutes later, covering 6,750 nautical miles at an average cruise speed of Mach point eight-five. Following that flight, the aircraft flew 6,143 nautical miles from Taipei Taoyuan International Airport to Arizona’s Scottsdale Airport, cruising at Mach point nine-oh entire trip. The total flight time was just 10 hours and 57 minutes. Damage to a Linhas Aereas de Mocambique Boeing 737 on approach to Tete, the capital of Mozambique, which was first reported to be caused by an impact with a drone, now appears to have been a structural failure of the radome. The drone-strike story was widely reported last week. USA Today reported that the crew heard a crash, and reported that the aircraft had impacted "an external body" according to the airline Facebook page. China Air Shuttle, based in Beijing with branches in different provinces of China, will begin to take delivery of 50 Piper Archers in the middle of 2017. China Air Shuttle also intends to order and stock more trainers to meet the fast-growing flight training market in China. The fleet of aircraft will be manufactured and certificated at Piper Aircraft's factory in Vero Beach, Florida, and then shipped to China where they will be reassembled by China Air Shuttle's affiliate company in Rizhao, Shandong Province. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
