Default Best sub $20M hot/high 3500 NM jet ?

Guys, looking for recommendations on the best hot and high performance Business Jet capable of 3500 NM range.

Budget is below $20M

Ideally can launch from 8500 MSL strip with 6 PAX and fly nonstop 3500 NM.

Want "new as possible", no, we are not buying a G-III.

Thank You

You can pick up early serial number Gulfstream G280's for just over that budget now, would fit the mission. 21.5 would get you a very capable aircraft.

Actually, one on the market for the bargain price of 15.5. HUD/EVS, CAT II, Autobrakes/Autothrust standard etc. It's a lot of aircraft for that money, wipes the floor with the Challenger 300/350. 1980 lbs cargo accessible in flight too. 3600nm range.

Astra,

Did you actually read, I mean, READ the post? I'd love to see a runway analysis for ANY plane departing an 8500' MSL field that'll go 3500nm.

A Global might, if there are no obstacles.

Field elevation is one thing…potential obstacle clearance is another entirely. After all, how many airports at that elevation aren't surrounded by rocks?

How long is this hypothetical 8500' MSL runway?

Falcon 50EX period. And also enjoy the many millions left over in the bank....

^What he said. Or for something a little newer, Falcon 2000LX/EX.

Sovereign, Legacy 500 and Challenger 300/350 have the runway performance, but are *just* short on that range.

G200 series has terrible runway performance, and the one our charter department operates likes to spend lots of time in Savannah. (The G150 does too.)
