Sweet; never will forget a couple years back. Friend went on company trip into Denton TX to go thru Peterbilt truck plant; all by himself on a citation of some kind. Got off in time to meet Target Stores CEO getting off his new G650 and saying hi and looking down. Target was opening a new DC in Denton.
Couple of years back - nobody had a G650 yet?, and Target Stores has a Citation X :)
I don't disagree with you. All I know is what he said. This was about August, 2012.

The Gulfstream G650 was not yet certified in August 2012 and nobody other than the Gulfstream test aircraft were flying :)
G650 was certified on Sept 9 2012 and very first deliveries were a few days before Christmas 2012 :)
The G650 in this video N211HS is msn 6003 and was a flight test aircraft - it was handed over to Howard Schultz Starbucks CEO on Sept 27 2013.
Check out the livery on these two;

Whatever. It's a sweet bird. I've seen WalMart's, but I still liked my little super modified CRJ200 as well as that 767 and King Air. Now that I'm likin' that back porch and sweet tea though, I can say they are all pretty but it was for another time.
