Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation announced its first customer delivery of the all-new Gulfstream G800, “the world’s longest range business aircraft.” The G800 capped off its certification process back in April. Its biggest point of pride is the “industry’s lowest cabin altitude of 2,840 feet” at a 41,000 ft cruise. It even has the newer “plasma ionization air purification system” that became something to have in the COVID days, as well as a 100% fresh air system inside. Freezing temperatures and water-contaminated hydraulic fluid combined to bring down an F-35A Lightning II on January 28 at Eielson AFB, Alaska. After the pilot attempted to troubleshoot the issue for nearly an hour, the aircraft stopped responding to control inputs so he ejected safely and walked under his own power to an ambulance as the aircraft crashed in a fireball on the base. The Coast Guard, Royal Canadian Air Force, and the Canadian Coast Guard successfully conducted two separate medical evacuations from the cruise ship Ruby Princess, approximately 145 nm west of Cape Flattery, Washington, on Sunday August 24.  All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
