Gulfstream Factory Tour? / Savannah

[NC_BE300]

Happen to have a 30 hour layover in SAV coming up this week, and was looking at things to do.

Since the Gulfstream Factory / Facilities are on the field in SAV....do they happen to offer such a thing as tours?

I think they do. If not head over to FSI and see if you can play in the sims.

Any recommended contacts for Gulfstream or FSI ?

Its an entire monday in SAV. I would be motivated to make the most out of the day.

Unfortunately they do not...
Last time i was in SAV for 3 days and tried but they said the only way to get in there is to order one...

Let me see that I can do. I have some high level contacts there, but haven't spoken with them for a bit.

Go there and tell them that you're ordering a brand new G650 jet. Take the tour and at the end say thanks and that you have decided to buy a Citation X. Next time you're in Kansas just do the opposite................

I'll be watching this thread. I had a 38 hour last week and I have another in two weeks. Husband of one F/A was along last week so they had a car rented and we went all around but I'm wondering what to do about the next one.

Ask for the "Graveyard Tour" when you're taxiing out. There are two grave markers half way down one of the runways with two folks who died in the late 1800s. Kinda interesting!

Certainly not saying it's impossible, but things have tightened up recently. Last I heard, even those in initial training are only given tours if their serial number is on property.

Well that sucks. Did it 15 or 20 years ago, and was suitably impressed.

Comparing a Gulfstream to a Beech anything...They would laugh you out the door.
