[edit] Operators section

I cleaned this section up. Flags should not be in section labels. There were too many subsections too. It had several operators for the GV and C-37A, which should be in Gulfstream V, not here. It looked like a lot of text from copied directly from Gulfstream's press release. The entry for the USAF about a C-37 being used for presidential transport is dubious. The reference only says a 'Gulf Stream'. -Fnlayson 21:10, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page Heading

I think the page topic should be Gulfstream G550 / G500. The current G500 title is not the proper focus of the rest of the page.

The G550 was developed first and certified first as the top of the line Gulfstream. The G500 is simply a reduced fuel load version of the G550 with corresponding reduction in Ramp weight, Takeoff gross weight, and range. The TO field performance is correspondingly better. The G500 was developed to compete with the Global Express in price and performance. By far the majority of production is G550 not G500. Specialmissions (talk) 21:11, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Product name / article name?

The manufacturer calls it Gulfstream G550. See Gulfstream history page for the G550, G500, etc. So I fail to see the grounds for moving this article to "Gulfstream 550". It should be moved back to "Gulfstream G550". -Fnlayson (talk) 21:13, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

My bad - typo on the move request - I left out the "G"! Thanks for catching that, Jeff. - BillCJ (talk) 21:44, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

• Oh, I thought it was someone else thinking the G550 = Gulfstream 550. OK, I'll try to move it then, since this in not disputed. -Fnlayson (talk) 21:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
• Can't move it now. It can be after Gulfstream G550 is deleted. -Fnlayson (talk) 22:02, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
