Someone with a G5 got bored...

Was browsing another site when I came across this link.  Test pilots must have been bored and had a lot of fuel :P

That's interesting...  It looked like he might have tried an approach at Denver, but that whole flight was at cruise altitude (some of it at FL470    :o   )

I like how in the first one the flight path spells out GV for Gulfstream 5.

Outagamie Airport has a gulfstream repair center and they also do interior and exterior refurbishing. I used to drive by their huge hangar everyday on the way to work when I used to live in Appleton. I imagine that they were testing avionics or something like that.
